In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Story4 out of 5 stars 34
Play Money explores a remarkable new phenomenon that's just beginning to enter public consciousness: MMPORGs, or Massively MultiPlayer Online Role-Playing Games, in which hundreds of thousands of players operate fantasy characters in virtual environments the size of continents. With city-sized populations of nearly full-time players, these games generate their own cultures, governments, and social systems and, inevitably, their own economies, which spill over into the real world.

MMO Cowboys, Not for Noobs or the average player..
Reviewed: 12-29-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, but only friends that had prior knowledge of MMO. Unless you are familiar with MMO terminology you will be lost.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I don't think the story itself needs to be changed its rather funny.But I bought the book for educational purpose which it falls short on..... a percentage of the things that are needed to be done are out of the grasp of the common MMO player. Such as Mexican and Asian gold producing sweat shops. Also a good percentage of the steps taken can be and are considered illegal which can lead to major losses.
What about Grover Gardner’s performance did you like?
I did like him, he can be a bit dry here and there but he makes up for it.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
MMO Cowboys: The dealers and Traffickers of MMO contraband.
Any additional comments?
If they make a film and they use my tag line please make sure they use the Phil Collins song "In the Air tonight"
