Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have to disagree with the other reviews. The idea is good, and it would have made a good short story, but to me the book is filled with really rather dull padding.
I almost gave up part way through the opening 7 chapters detailing the really rather dull tedious life of the main character.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book takes us into the world of perceived reality. Who am I? What am I doing at this exact spot? Can I be manipulated? Science fiction may one day find its place in reality with this book of Hogan. Joe (or is he Joe?) wakes up one day wondering who he is and where he is. He had the strange feeling that the walls around him were just stage props, with nothing behind. He turned as a man came through the door and said, "Good morning, Joe. How are you feeling today?" So his name was Joe? Where was he? With his garden tools, he prepared to plant a vegetable patch. But when he turned over the first fork of soil, there was nothing underneath - just empty blackness. What was he? He looked in the mirror and his jaw fell. He was twelve years younger and much leaner. This was insane.

This book appeals to me as a person preferring science fiction to science fantasy, in that the technology is made believable. The characterisation is also good, so you actually care about what is happening to the characters. James P Hogan at his best.
