Player one


Player One was an enjoyable read. It’s a story that seems to place our contemporary era in context. It defines the very things of this era that makes it this era. There are a lot of references to the information age, online dating, fourms, chatrooms, uncertainty of the future and big egos from 12 am infomercials. Of course the entire story takes a turn for the worst with the peak oil situation, exploding gas lines and a sniper out to seek revenge.
The entire story is broken down from person to person. We see things from a variety of views, including one view from player one, who concludes every hour by giving a very relative view on the entire situation at hand. This was a story that kept me interested, because its approach was much more abstract. Each situation was told in different views. Giving us a very universal look to the entire story.
