Kurzbeschreibung
A virtual-reality novel from a time before virtual reality, Simulacron-3 is a prophetic tale of a future where nothing is as it appears to be. *** Douglas Hall is part of a team that builds an artificial environment to simulate reality. This enables them to get public opinion polls without waiting for the opinions of people around them. But then something goes terribly wrong and his partners on the program start disappearing. *** But is it a simulated disappearance, or is someone out to get them all? And what is the true nature of reality? *** Stories based on Simulacron-3 have been adapted for both television and movies, and the book is considered a favorite of many of the masters of science fiction.

Great Futuristic Story from Pre-Internet Era.
1. März 2012
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this novel because I've always wanted to watch Fassbinder's filmic adaptation "World on a Wire," which has just been released on Criterion DVD. I wasn't aware of a second adaptation of this book ("The Thirteenth Floor") until I was in the middle of reading it, but I'll have to see it, too (because I enjoy how adaptations work). I will be reviewing both soon... (Update: I have reviewed both filmic adaptations).
The story is slow paced in the beginning, and it takes some thought about what is going on - and that continues throughout the read. It has political and capitalist criticisms, as well as an immeshed love story. While reading it, several movies came to mind: the headset of "Brainstorm," the darkness and mystery of "Dark City," the environment of "Blade Runner," and a little bit of "The Matrix" (not as much as other reviewers seem to emphasize). It is well-rounded, but I became confused several times, having to go back and reread once in a while. In the end, I enjoyed the story, and I believe a sci-fi reader would, too. It has a film-noir feel to it.
It was written in 1962, and some of what was futuristic then seems to be working its way into the present. Personally, I find that most pre-CGI sci-fi writing has a more human level, which is apparent here. Psychological analysis may be fun with this one, especially the ending. Oh, how I want to become a pollster (sarcasm).
4 of 5, mostly because of the confusing narrative, but a good read.

Simulacron-3, prepare for your mind to be messed with!
25. September 2011
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Simulacron-3 is a real trip! I read it because I love the movie "The Thirteenth Floor", which is based on this book.
I found the story a bit hard to follow at first, but as it came together, it got better, and it really does mess with your mind.
You will enjoy this if you like having your buttons pushed, and having your reality questioned - after all, it's all just an illusion, isn't it?? ;-)
