The Earth is a very different place in the future, and online characters matter just as much, if not more than real life. The world of the Oasis, a videogame, is home for many people as a distraction from the problems and horrors of the real world. The game has the power to fix the world and more than enough money to improve the state of the earth. The only problem is that when the creator of the game died, he left an easter egg in his game that whoever finds first gets to own the game.
