==Summary==
In a desolate and run-down future, the orphaned Wade Watts is one of the many players of the online virtual reality game OASIS, renowned for giving many the chance to escape their real-life woes.
He is a poor orphan from the "stacks" surrounding metropolitan Oklahoma City.
After the creator of the game, James Halliday, dies, he leaves behind his wealth and control of OASIS to whoever can solve his "Easter Egg Hunt", sending the player base into a massive search.
Wade names his OASIS character Parzival after Percival, the Arthurian knight famous for his quest for the Holy Grail and dedicates his life to finding the Egg.
When Wade actually manages to solve the first challenge, he teams up with the "High Five" guild to conclude the hunt once and for all before the evil Innovative Online Industries reaches the Egg first.
