Ok first of all EMP do not kill people.. Its the affects that do and that is pacemakers stop functioning, anything electronic will stop and cause problems. EMP is more of a temporarily problem and turning off and restarting will restart it. So to use EMP they would have to do it with precise timing because it's shut down would be a very short time with the battery to reboot itself.

Now the premise is good but the explanations are really flawed a battery would not have enough power to cause a microwave reaction to fry the brain. Now it is possible but not with a battery as an explanation it would require a high voltage capacitor in the headgear. Also any government would send in troops and shut down the server itself that controls everything.. Their is no explanations explaining why none of this is done... From a technological aspect I do not feel the author did much research. Just too many flaws.

1. How would they have got a game system approved with a dive gear that would have such dangerous potential as a weapon? To be able to fry a brain with microwave it would have to have a high power capacitor like in a TV but that would never be approved in a game system.

2. Why the government just does not send in troops and shut down the server itself or use truth serum on the developer to know how to really shut down the server properly.

Either way if something happened like this in RL than the government would be forced to act as their would be many relatives taken it upon themselves for vengeance against this psycho developer who killed there child or will cause there child to be killed.

To make this story plausible the world would had to be a different place.. Corporations ruling with no government per say so they can get away with anything but that is not how the world is portrayed which is why I stated that the author did not research into his novel at all and make things plausible at all. A good author makes the story plausible in a magic world that can be done with magic, science world science, ect which in this case should of been a world run by corporations that had full autonomy to pull something like this off not what appears to be a modern day world with a single psycho developer holding everyone hostage when there is too many weaknesses in the system.
