William Henry
“The book I chose from these recommendations was "Wanderers" by Chuck Wendig and it blew my pants off. It was a /fast/ read for a long book, and gives weight to the feeling I have right now that humanity is always on a knife's edge. | The worst thing I can imagine for a #scifi book is to merge various concepts such as A.I., nanorobots, and a pandemic in a 800 page long story. But man, Chuck Wendig did that in Wanderers. I spent hours every day reading it during my only holiday this year. Still worth it. | The worst thing I can imagine for a #scifi book is to merge various concepts such as A.I., nanorobots, and a pandemic in a 800+ page long story.

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Recommended by 25 sources.
“Ready Player One reads like a videogame in book form: fast, immersive, and packed with 80s pop-culture puzzles. Its main draw is a high-stakes treasure hunt set in a richly detailed virtual universe, appealing to anyone who loves geek culture. The constant references, however, can feel like a pop-culture checklist rather than storytelling, and characters remain thin. If you're not already steeped in early video games, movies, and music, you'll miss much of the fun. It's a nostalgic thrill ride that sacrifices depth for pure, unapologetic escapism.”
