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.
