And another one.
Its (science...) fiction, by an Australian author, and a lot of you would
have heard of it.

PERMUTATION CITY
by
Greg Egan
(dont know book details, will find out)

Remember - I dont read science fiction!!
As far as I am concerned, this is the only book ever written about VR,
dont bother reading anything else.

Hyperbole out.

If this message actually makes it onto the list, I'll be amazed, all my
other replies have disappeared into the void.
