"ONE NIGHTMARISH PANOPTICON." - The New York Times
When Robin wakes up in a clinic with most of his memories missing, it doesn't take him long to discover that someone is trying to kill him. It's the twenty-seventh century, when interstellar travel is by teleport gate and conflicts are fought by network worms that censor refugees' personalities--including Robin's earlier self. On the run from a ruthless pursuer and searching for a place to hide, he volunteers to participate in a unique experimental polity: the Glasshouse, a simulated pre-accelerated culture where participants are assigned anonymized identities. But what looks like the perfect sanctuary turns into a trap, placing Robin at the mercy of the experimenters--and at the mercy of his own unbalanced psyche...

Review:
"The act of creation seems to come easily to Charles Stross...[He] is peerless at dreaming up devices that could conceivably exist in six, sixty, or six hundred years' time." - The New York Times "A NEW WORK OF CREDIBLE AND BOLD SF." - Science Fiction Weekly "A world in which new ideas drip from every page." - Revolution Science Fiction "Stross's latest and best (so far) novel...A twisty, engrossing, and very well-done paranoia thriller." - SF Site "Where Charles Stross goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow."--Gardner Dozois, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine
Book Description:
"A new kind of future requires a new breed of guide--someone like Stross."--Popular Science
