Realtime Interrupt

by James P. Hogan

Computer scientist Joe Corrigan wakes up in a hospital ward with no memory, apparently the victim of a nervous breakdown after a failed experiment in virtual reality. He tries to rebuild his life but has trouble fitting into his surroundings. When he meets Lilly, a colleague in the ill-fated experiment, she tells him it was not a failure and that they are both trapped in an unreal, computer-simulated world. Some strong language. 1995.
