Simulacron 3 | 
pick8 years ago, I attempted to write an honors thesis on Welt am Draht, a 2 part German Tele-Play, whose inspiration was Galouye's Simulacron 3. My thesis went to shit but the Fassbinder film always made me curious about the book. Having now read it, I really appreciate Galouye's imagination and faculty in illustrating a counterfeit world. If you enjoy sci-fi & can bear the existential dread surrounding Hall's discovery, check it out.
