A jaw-droppingly cinematic, genre-busting debut that's part virtual space opera, part classic coming-of-age story, and part brilliant pop-culture mashup. In the virtual world of the OASIS, Cline has created a playground where his formidable imagination and encyclopedic pop-culture knowledge can run wild, a meticulously imagined, satisfyingly rule-bound universe in which light-speed travelling DeLoreans can battle it out with X-wings, mages sling spells against mirror-shaped cyberpunks, and entire planets are inspired by classic arcade games.
