It's there. You need to search for it. Raw diatribes like this are a window into the innermost nature of the human soul. My idea for a VR killer app was to have the camera attached to the front of a Red Bull airplane or snowboard. My friend, understanding more intimately human nature, realized it should be getting drunk, breaking into a bank and possibly getting involved in homicide. He was, sadly, right. I cannot morally follow that venture, but I know it is true. Here is a man that did, telling his story so that we don't have to follow.

Isn't that the premise of the film Strange Days?

I was just talking about that movie last night. It was a splendid look at one of our possible futures.


I think I'm missing something in your comment. Why did your friend think a VR killer app would be breaking into a bank? You mean as a VR game? How was he right? Why can you not morally make that? I am confused.


The author could certainly go further into detail and while sparse writing can be great writing here it feels like too much is left unsaid.
