SIMULACRON 3
Author: Daniel F. Galouye
Publisher: Bantam Books, New York
Date: 1964
Simulacron 3 is the story of a virtual world used for marketing research, so that opinion polls are no longer required. The virtual world is so real however, that the inhabitants of the simulated New Orleans in 1937 have no idea it is a simulation. The protagonist, who is the scientist responsible for the simulation, Douglas Hall, begins to wonder if he too is in a simulation after several of his colleagues vanish. Simulacron 3 is told from the first person and the reader is constantly left wondering what described in the book is real, ultimately shifting the reader's understanding of the book completely by the end.
