Ready Player One: The global bestseller and now a major Steven Spielberg movie

Product Information

The OASIS is shaped like a Rubik’s Cube, with 27 cubed “sectors.” Travelling across one sector at the speed of light is expensive and takes 10 hours. Avatars can gain experience points—XPs—by completing quests and fighting NPC villains. However, these don’t exist on Ludus. With difficulty Wade has managed to raise his avatar to the third level by briefly hitching rides to other planets and earning XPs there; however, no gunter is considered serious until they reach the tenth level.
