In Ready Player One, James Halliday is the creator of a virtual reality world called the OASIS. He becomes a billionaire as the result of his success. Before his death, he creates a quest in which he hides an Easter egg. The finder of the Easter egg will inherit his fortune.
As a teenager in the 1980s, Halliday seems to have an obsession with references to this decade. His virtual world is full of songs, movies, quotes, fashion, and video games from the 80s.
Wade Watts, known as Parzival in the OASIS, is a "gunter," which is short for egg hunter. In chapter 34, he plans to travel in a large robot known as a "Leopardon." Once he is on board, he notices an eight-track player. Parzival selects a tape and places it in the player. The song that plays is "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC, an Australian rock band. The song is part of their album also titled Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, which was released in 1981 in the United States.
