Get ready for one hot,

I'd all ready be one

get ready for one horse

I live here in Columbus Ohio in twenty forty five it's still ranked the fastest growing city on earth but

it sure doesn't seem like it when you live in the stacks they called our generation the missing millions missing not because we went anywhere there's

nowhere left to go no we except the ways placed it I mean a world where the limits of reality are your own imagine so

you

My name's Wade Watts

My dad picked that name because it sounds like a superhero's alter ego

Like Peter Parker or Bruce Banner

But he died when I was a kid

My mom too

And I ended up here

Sitting here in my tiny corner of nowhere

There's nowhere left to go

Nowhere
