Christopher Priest's artful sleight of hand when it comes to
manipulating the experience of his books and notions of what is
real reaches a peak in this novel that accounts the trials and
tribulations of a group of people who have escaped into a utopian
shared virtual reality known as Wessex. It is a world engineered to
give them their every desire. But when one woman becomes subject to
the violent attentions of a man who feels that she is everything he
desires she must decide to fight back. Obsession and abuse of power
can cross from the real world to the imagined all too easily.
Thought by some to have been instrumental in the inspiration of the
film INCEPTION, A DREAM OF WESSEX is a classic in the literature of
virtual realities and remains one of Chris Priest's most highly
regarded novels. Christopher Priest is a genre-leading author of
SFF fiction. His novel, THE PRESTIGE, won a number of awards and
was adapted into a critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film
directed by Christopher Nolan (TENET, INCEPTION) starring Hugh
Jackman (THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, X-MEN), Christian Bale (THE BIG
SHORT, BATMAN BEGINS), Michael Caine (THE ITALIAN JOB) and Scarlett
Johansson (MARRIAGE STORY, THE AVENGERS).
