For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune - and remarkable power - to whoever can unlock them.

Once you get past some of the incongruities of this new world (for example, if there is an energy crisis, how can everyone afford the energy to run these huge computing systems - they mention the energy crisis a few times - it's bad enough that no one lives in the suburbs anymore but every
