Book Description
Science Fiction? Philosophy? Retro-Modernist Literature? "The Reality Mechanic" is not your typical science fiction, as most science fiction is set in material environments of some sort and the focus tends to be on technology and the hard sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Geology, Meteorology, and/or, more so now, computer generated systems and realities. "The Reality Mechanic" could be loosely associated with the latter, but a central difference is that the computer in this case is the the brain, and the reality generated is uniquely one's own. The science in The Reality Mechanic is, roughly speaking, semiotics: the study of signs.
