Why read it?

1 author picked I Dream Of Mirrors as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In I Dream Of Mirrors, Scottish writer Chris Kelso describes a nightmarish virtual world in which a self-proclaimed prophet who turns his followers into obedient programs by erasing their memories. The two main protagonists, a nameless narrator, and his unreliable partner Kad, are rebels who want to find out the truth. I absolutely love this book, as it challenges our vision of technological progress and what we assume is our identity. Remarkably well written and with a fantastic pace, it is, in my eyes, a true underground classic, on par with William Gibson’s world-famous Neuromancer.

From Seb's list on to bend your mind.
