A village in the third world gets attacked at night. A student playing computer games gets hired to test a new online first person shooter. The game is clumsy, hard to play, first. It gets better over time, but at the same time a hacker group finds out that a new weapon is being developed: Robots, drones. The group intervenes, first successfully, gets pushed back and finally reveals the reality to the people who think that they "play". First Person is a fast-paced story about what can happen if a game becomes a reality, written by an IT professional and mediocre online gamer. The story is a glance into what can be developed with technology which exists already today. First Person is a must read for every online gamer, an inspiring and scaring idea about where technology can lead us if it is not controlled.
