Can danger be real if it is in a virtual realm? Yes it can when it can control you real life. The Eye of Minds is based on a teenager named Michael who is a very talented gamer. He gets picked by the VNS to help take down a virtual terrorist. The three most important conflicts in the book are the VNS vs. Kaine, the VNS vs. Michael, and Michael vs. his friends.
To start off, the first conflict in the book is the VNS vs. Kaine. Kaine is the terrorist that is terrorizing the sleep. The sleep is a virtual world that is just like ours except it’s a videogame. Everything in it is the same, you feel pain, you can eat, and you can even sleep. In the sleep Kaine has been manipulating peoples brains so that they kill themselves. The main character Michael saw a woman standing at the top of a building, and he approached her. He asked her what she was doing, and she said: “He can’t just trap me here and use me for an expirement” (Dashner 5).

Michael. The VNS is the police but they are inside of the video game. Because Michael is so good at the game and is able to hack into just about anything, the VNS kidnap him and take him to a secure location so they can talk. They tell Michael about Kaine and what he has been doing to people. They also tell Michael that they know how good he is at hacking and coding into things, so they want him to try to hunt down Kaine. The only problem is that Michael can’t tell anyone except for his friends, because the VNS told him that they would: “Eliminate his family” (Dashner 35). This shows how Michael has to follow through with the plan, or the VNS will kill his family. The job of finding Kaine is dangerous already, but if one word about this gets to the wrong person he could be in trouble. Therefore, he must not deviate from the plan, and stay focused on capturing
