Ready Player One gets my vote as "Most likely to actually happen" dystopian novel.

Set in the not too distant future (as in, still within most of our lifetimes), Parzival navigates his way through the Oasis, an online open sandbox "game". His mission? Win a bazillion dollars by solving a hidden Easter egg left by now deceased, 80s obsessed creator, Halliday.

For those of us who grew up in the 80s or are 80s adjacent, this story is a nod to the things we hold so dearly from our childhood. Personally, I'd love to be the researcher for this novel because it sounds like a ton of fun.

I can't recommend the audiobook version enough. It's 15 hours long and read by Wil Wheaton (yeah, pretty perfect). Highly recommend!
