Beside an Open Window
Thirty years after his girlfriend persuaded him to get a brain scan with her, Jason Harlan wakes up in the metaverse to discover he's been dead for thirty years. But where exactly is Rachel Petstoof, now that her own death has triggered his activation? And who has the millions that Jason managed to accrue in his singing career? And what happened to him in the two years between his scan and the car crash in which he died?
In a thought-provoking portrait of a future in which the digital dead work and play alongside the living, 'Beside an Open Window' probes the nature of consciousness, of the sensory word we inhabit and the nature of human relationships.

Wow!
This is my favorite of Mr. Hax's novels so far. I couldn't put it down! The plot was fascinating and I'm not even sure I understood all the twists and turns. I loved the suspense and mystery. I'd really like to talk about this book with anyone else who has read it to see if we came to the same conclusions about who was who and who did what!
