This book brings into question reality. Are the characters real(istic)? Do they have willpower or are they NPCs doing whatever a code requires they do?
At times (frequently), a character does something unrealistic, yet it may be something that any one of us THINKS about doing, or their thoughts may share ours.
So are they real because they do things we THINK we MIGHT do? Are the actions we mentally take IN reality?
