Quote 1
[Halliday] was the videogame designer responsible for creating the OASIS, a massively multiplayer online game that had gradually evolved into the globally networked virtual reality most of humanity now used on a daily basis. (0.2)
The OASIS is pretty much Facebook meets Second Life, two things that are very addictive on their own. Together, they prove to be irresistible, blurring the lines between reality and virtual reality.
Quote 2
Everyone my age remembers where they were and what they were doing when they first heard about the contest. (0.1)
The Hunt for Halliday's egg pretty much has the same cultural impact that John F. Kennedy's assassination did in the 1960s. The infamous Zapruder film is even referenced in the book (0.9).
Quote 3

Everyone's looking for a way to escape, and most people are using some form of media to do it, even if it isn't the OASIS. Wait a second… that sounds eerily familiar.
