Paradise opens from the perspective of a suicide bomber ("In the crowded marketplace, I drift from face to face") before transitioning to the mind of a woman who lost her husband in the Pentagon ("I brush your cheek with my fingertips/ I taste the void upon your lips)."

Another aim is to raise questions about the morality of violence in games like Mortal Kombat, and the relationship between such content and real war. An art installation by Mark Dean uses footage shot from the cockpit of a World War II bomber. "It's asking you to think about what you're doing when playing games," says Bodman. "It's warning us to remember what we're seeing." The link between games technology and other disciplines is also explored.
