Publisher Description
The skullcap sits to one side of the chair. Its snaking wires and sensors throw a Medusa shadow against the basement wall. I touch its plastic. Stroke its wiry hair.
The Machine gives me everything I want. Or the one thing I want. Life in a woman’s body, under the tangerine glow of the Spiral Arm Nebula. But nothing remains the same for long, not even in the timeless worlds of the Experience Machine.
From the author of 'HEDON', 'The Experience Machine' is a brutal story of identity found and lost. Plug in, baby. You won’t regret it.

Disturbing
Wow. A lesson on the effect of bullying on a mind that hasn't been allowed to accept the truth of itself. Raising the question, who is the monster, and supporting the saying that a civilisation cannot be destroyed from outside, only from within.
