Adam Exx: Leviticus

Towering challenges confront Adam as he returns to The Cone where he must decide whether to join the rest of mankind in brainlife or live alone as Sydney decays around him. Adam is pushed to his limits as he tries to fit into a world recalibrated by The Study Corporation in its continuing experiment with humanity. Just as Adam senses his torment is over, a calamity changes everything. Adam uncovers the truth about mind architecture, flying, land rights and the creation of our Universe. Leviticus brings the Adam Exx trilogy to a shattering conclusion. "Fraser McEwing has written an insightful, compelling book, which presents his readers with so much more than a story world. This is philosophy writ large, dealing with the very nature of who we are, why we're here, and what is the purpose of life.And here is the brilliant conundrum of McEwing's book, because though Adam knows that everything around him ... the people, the places, the events ... are created and unreal, the only way in which Adam can lead a fulfilling life is to come to terms with his environment, and deal with it as though it were real, even though he knows that he's lying to himself.This is the stuff of daydreams and nightmares. It is the inner vision which haunts so many of us who get up, go to work, return to our families and repeat the same thing, day after day." - Alan Gold
