I finished this audiobook a week or two ago - Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, as read by Wil Wheaton. I really liked this book. It's set in the not so distant future, after the collapse of the world economy under the pressure of the energy crisis. An inventor born in the 1970s creates an immersive virtual world called The Oasis, filled with 1980s nostalgia. When the inventor dies, his avatar announces a contest - whoever finds the easter egg he has hidden in the Oasis will inherit his fortune. A mad race to find it begins.
Overall, I really enjoyed this one. It's very well written, it's full of great nostalgia, and the performance is fantastic. Even if you don't like Science Fiction, I think you'd enjoy it.
