A private detective Florin is hired to take part in an experiment: he must guard a mad senator in a virtual world generated by a machine—the latest achievement of technology. How do you get out of illusions? How do you tell where dreams end and reality begins?
As Florin plunges into dizzying adventures, fights an extra-galactic threat to Earth, and protects his own mind, he makes surprising discoveries about the Universe he lives in—and the one he is defending.
