“ONE NIGHTMARISH PANOPTICON.” – The New York Times

When Robin wakes up in a clinic with most of his memories missing, it doesn’t take him long to discover that someone is trying to kill him. It’s the twenty-seventh century, when interstellar travel is by teleport gate and conflicts are fought by network worms that censor refugees’ personalities—including Robin’s earlier self.

On the run from a ruthless pursuer and searching for a place to hide, he volunteers to participate in a unique experimental polity: the Glasshouse, a simulated pre-accelerated culture where participants are assigned anonymized identities. But what looks like the perfect sanctuary turns into a trap, placing Robin at the mercy of the experimenters—and at the mercy of his own unbalanced psyche…

"A world in which new ideas drip from every page." - Revolution Science Fiction

"Stross's latest and best (so far) novel...A twisty, engrossing, and very well-done paranoia thriller." - SF Site

"Where Charles Stross goes today, the rest of science fiction will follow tomorrow."--Gardner Dozois, Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine

"A new kind of future requires a new breed of guide--someone like Stross."--Popular Science
