That book is frightening by its prophetical nature... near the end of the book, once Japan lost the war, a suicide japanese pilot crashes a 747 on the Congress...
When I was 3 or 4 (1983) there was a game called Monster Maze for the ZX81. That one might have been the first First Person Shooter! It's no small feat considering that the ZX81 had 1 KB of RAM and monochrome TV output...

It is really sad that the didn't mention the Spectrum and the british side of this. For some reason, here in Uruguay the computer culture grew around the european culture. I guess it was partly because the magazines that came here were published in Spain.
And there were great games. I particulary remember one called Sir Fred, that in some way can be seen as a precursor of graphic adventures or CRPGs (and we are talking 80s!!). Did that games get to the US?
