Will even does Max Headroom’s voice (as seen above) and that is no easy feat! (Believe, me I tried to do the Max Headroom voice here at home… lets just say it wasn’t pretty). Will… has the perfect voice for the audio and I knew within the first minute I was in for something special. And even more fun, Will is actually mentioned within this book/audio. How do you know that name? Will starred in the 80’s film Stand By Me, on Star Trek he was the Romulan voice. Well… I think I will start with Narrator Will Wheaton. RARELY will an audio engross me to the point that it earns the sole right to follow me from bedroom, to kitchen, to car… I thank you, this was the best audio I have listened to this year.įor those of you who read me often, you may be aware that I usually am listening to three audio at one time (one in my bedroom for when I get ready in the mornings, one in the kitchen for cooking and cleaning time, and one in my car for every time I am on the go). But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life-and love-in the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.įirst of all to those of you said I must must MUST (little Max Headroom there…) listen to this one audio. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win.

Halliday made billions creating the Oasis and having never married or had children – he left his billions and full control of the Oasis to one lucky person… the one who could crack the clues he left in his will and within the worlds of the Oasis find Hallidays last gift to the world… his hidden “Easter Egg”. The oasis was created by James Halliday, a big time gamer and lover of all things 80’s. In this sprawling 10 world utopia Wade can be his avatar Parzival, with other virtual friends where you can live and play and even… fall in love. Like most of humanity, Wade escapes into a virtual world called the Oasis every chance he gets. Wade Watts lives with his aunt who does not want him there and lets him know it every chance she gets. Most people live in vertical trailer parks or “Stacks”, where old trailer homes have been stacked on top of one another. In fact, even homes are rare as most people have apartments.
It’s the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.
