ⓘ About Ernest Cline
Ernest Cline’s first published book is called Ready Player One. It is a dystopian, sci-fi novel about Wade Watts, a teenager in the year 2044. In the world of the book, which is parallel to our own in many ways, Wade prefers to spend his time in a virtual world, aptly named OASIS. As part of his legacy, the creator of the virtual world created an elaborate Easter Egg hunt with an unannounced grand prize. As the years passed and no one seemed able to uncover the clues, public interest waned and only the most dedicated of people continued the search. Wade, who is also known by his virtual pseudonym of ‘Parzival’, spends his time solving the many puzzles scattered around the virtual world in a bid to escape the real world. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Ready Player One Books series, Ernest Cline has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres.
