that changes everything. Hidden within Halliday's vaults, waiting for his heir to find it, lies a technological advancement that will once again change the world and make the OASIS a thousand times more wondrous - and addictive - than even Wade dreamed possible. With it comes a new riddle, and a new quest: a last Easter egg from Halliday, hinting at a mysterious prize. And an unexpected, impossibly powerful, and dangerous new rival awaits, one who'll kill millions to get what he wants. Wade's life and the future of the OASIS are again at stake, but this time the fate of humanity also hangs in the balance ... Lovingly nostalgic and wildly original as only Ernest Cline could conceive it, Ready Player Two takes us on another imaginative, fun, action-packed adventure through his beloved virtual universe, and jolts us thrillingly into the future once again. READY PLAYER TWO is the sequel to Cline’s debut novel, Ready Player One, which spent over 100 weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list and was published in 58 countries and 37 languages. Ready Player One is set in a near-future dystopia where people escape the chaos of the real world for an expansive virtual universe, where they can create their own reality.
