Rent Glasshouse

Synopsis

Memory, society, and conformity are just some of the familiar tropes that are shattered in Hugo Award-winner Charles Stross's adventurous science fiction thriller. When Robin, a 27th century man, wakes up with his memory wiped clean, he agrees to take part in a social experiment whereby subjects will live in the Glasshouse, a recreation of the 'dark ages' society of the 21st century. Although the simulation is meant to be as accurate as possible, almost nothing is known about this period in ancient history, so educated guesswork has helped to engineer most of the rules. But the gaps in Robin's memory--and in his knowledge--soon reveal the Glasshouse to be a far more sinister place than it at first seemed.
