Frederick Pohl

This famous Pohl story explores cybernetic robots and implanted personalities (long before they were cool) in a way that certainly expanded my way of looking at reality. Is that wall really a wall? or is it just kinda, sorta real? And who am I? The protagonist, Guy Burckhardt, wakes up screaming from a horrible dream of explosions, searing fire, choking gas and other terrible ways to die. But he wakes up so it must have been just a bad nightmare, right? To find out that piece of information you will need to listen to this inventive and scary story.
