Ebook short description
Just another old fashioned recursive science fiction story about virtual reality, alternate worlds, inter racial romance, virtual avatars and sex dolls.Extended description
Here's an excerpt:Yep. Dart was no bed of roses he thought. Aside from having a stiff upper strata personal style that vaguely reminded him of Miss Jane Hathaway of Beverly Hillbillies fame, she had that unsightly counterweight that many intelligent people have: She was hopelessly neurotic. Higher IQ means a higher level of psychosis. Sure, Woody Allen is smart enough to write Annie Hall, and he’s also smart enough to eruditely rationalize fucking his wife’s stepdaughter. The proverbial twin edged sword. So, while he would miss her he wouldn’t necessarily miss her accusing him of trying to brainwash her by showing her science fiction books or miss her threatening to walk out of a movie theater because he tells a friend she’s the reason he’s watching "Lamerica" as opposed to "Lone Star".
