This novel, written by super-nerd Ernest Cline, is one large homage to the 80's. Taking place mostly in a virtual reality (think World Of Warcraft), the story follows Wade Watts, a teenager that suddenly becomes one of the most famous people in the world because he found the first piece of the reclusive creator's Easter Egg. The story is a mashup of nerd culture, 70's and 80's pop culture, teen drama, and post-apocalypse. We follow Wade as he does battle with the world's largest corporation and many other players in the virtual reality to complete the twisted puzzle of the Easter Egg. Definetly worth at least one read, this one can be identified with by teenagers and YA audiences, as well as adults everywhere. 9/10
