I recently completed "Ready Player One", Ernest Cline's debut novel. It's a
Sci-Fi fan-service novel that explores a dystopian future (yes, another one)
where the majority of the populace hide inside a VR environment to escape
their "real" lives.
The sole-genius who authored the VR software hid a series of easter eggs
inside, in the form of challenges relating to pop-culture and video game trivia
circa the 80s. He constructs his will such that whoever first completes the
challenges inherits the mega-bucks company who control the VR simulation.
