Consider Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Recommended by 22 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.”
