    About this ebook

    YOU ARE
    an astronaut turned into a machine, and now searching for your stolen humanity...
    a woman volunteering to be frozen for a hundred thousand years to await the return of your lover...
    a survivor of a holocaust stumbling over a nightmare landscape toward a dream-like city shimmering in the distance...
    a new kind of soldier beginning to doubt his mission as an infinitely powerful instrument of destruction...
    a man hunted by computers through the streets, buildings, and sewers of a vast and murderous metropolis...
    an explorer returning over time and space to the horror that he still thinks of as home...

    YOU ARE
    an inhabitant,
    a slave,
    a victim,
    an enemy,
    a witness of...

      I'm sure that this book had a coherent narrative in the author's mind but that narrative failed to make it to paper. One more tale of an interesting concept suffering from poor execution and a rather generic man vs machine plot.What the book lacks in originality of expression, it makes up for in so many diversions and excursions that would make even Philip Jose Farmer look up from his bong long enough to frown.
