Slipstream can be visionary, unreliable, odd or metaphysical. As if you suddenly step through some invisible threshold and everything around you appears looking just the same, but wrong. Tom who? Tom Benedict. Later she found Allen, spoke to him. Is he still ill? Who is it? She ate a meal with a group of the others, trying to think of it… But by the time the meal was finished she could not even remember his first name. She felt a sense of great loss, and an overwhelming sadness, and a sure knowledge that someone she had loved was no longer there. The power is to have the subversive layer of the story seep in your real non-fictional life. Like a virus, invisible before you feel its effects. This book has a staggering power of abstraction. And so it traps you through the fictional pretense and drags you on that other side. It was as if there were a false experience in memory, one given to him. It seemed that he had been walking alone through the boulevard all evening and into the night, with entirely spurious memories appearing in sequences to supply the false experience. Memory was created by events surely? A strangeness in the familiar. The plot is fairly straightforward and not too convoluted. Some fancy technology development allowed to build a virtual reality machine. In the early days the reports the participants had made had reflected the spirit of the projection: that they were discovering a society, and speculating about the way it was run. As time passed, though, and as the participants became more deeply embedded in that society, their reports had gradually became more factual in tone, relating the future society to itself rather than to the present. Expressed in a different way, it meant that the participants were treating the projection as a real world, rather than one which was a conscious extrapolation from their own. But there are no flying cars or A. This imagined future is a social research and the premise is a technological stagnation that made the future not unlike the present. It turns out like a holiday resort with a hippie community living into an old castle. Being participative, this universe needs to extrapolate a coherent whole from all the minds projecting it, using the interesting property of memory not explicitly stated in the book, but described as exactly this of spontaneously smoothing whatever problem or inconsistency may come up. Reality, past and present, is not static. It shifts subtly, or even more dramatically. Leaving only a fleeting impression that something is missing. This is where the story always return and always gives a priority. Characterization here, outside of prejudices, is really solid. Here I return to Asimov. He can write some great stories but sometimes the characters suffer. It happens often that in SF stories the characters are created to be in service of the idea at the core of the book. They are built to fit the story and to make the most out of that idea. So one could say that the characters are added to be in service to the rest. Objects more than subjects. When a representative of this heartless aspect of post-war Britain [i. Wessex is also, literally, a dream island, a piece of the Mediterranean that has been misplaced in southern England, and in this Priest's islomania is on a par with the intellectual mood of post-war Britain I don't think any English writer has so consistently weaved islands into the structure of his fiction as Christopher Priest. These are usually exemplars of islomania rather than insularity: he does not want to cut his characters off from society because engagement with others goes to the core of how they reveal their psychology one reason, perhaps, why twins and doppelgangers feature so frequently in his work.

He can write some great stories but sometimes the characters suffer. It happens often that in SF stories the characters are created to be in service of the idea at the core of the book. They are built to fit the story and to make the most out of that idea. So one could say that the characters are added to be in service to the rest. Objects more than subjects. Functions of plot. What instead Christopher Priest achieves here is that the characters remain at the apex regardless of the power of the story. Even seen as a whole, that core idea still remains one step below of the significance of the characters, without overshadowing them. If it was Philip K. Completely open to ambiguity and open interpretation. Instead Priest does the opposite. Just after the biggest charge is set off, it starts turning counterclockwise for the last 20 pages. Instead of the open ended finale, for most readers annoyingly unsatisfying, this story clearly defines its official interpretation. It tries to make it as explicit as possible by expressing and then clearly negating doubts that the reader would voice. Whether you want or not, stories that deal with virtual realities ultimately fall into these cases of recursion. Turtles all the way down. Can you lose the way back? It happens in your everyday dreams. You know, viscerally, you were dreaming the moment you wake up. Like a hierarchy of dreams, you can only know with certainty you had a dream when you exit it. When you have a context to compare it to. Perception is one-directional, as if you are looking through a window that is transparent if you look from one side, and opaque from the other. This is the first book by Christopher Priest I read, but not the last. Not simply because I enjoyed this one so much, but because from the start I had a plan. Some grander vision that ties together some of his most interesting works. It starts with and then continues with the more recent The Dream Archipelago short story collection , The Islanders and The Adjacent , all of which got enthusiastic reviews:. This is a superb novel, written by an artist at not only the height but also the breadth of his powers. So A Dream of Wessex fulfilled exactly what I expected it to be. An appetizer for all the good, mind-bending things to come. A teaser of one of the most genial writers out there, who still enjoys thinking the unthinkable. Your email address will not be published.

I shall have to read more by The only other book I have read by Christopher Priest to date is which I enjoyed very much indeed. I shall have to read more by him to decide that. I was left wondering if it was a very early book, published after he had some success with books written later. There are probably ideas in this book that he used again later, hopefully to greater effect, as for me, the story, especially the ending, was unconvincing. Not recommended. Sep 08, Saxon Roach rated it really liked it. Inception appears to influenced by this Short, hauntological, slightly odd And it's aged much better than you'd think Jun 22, Valentina Salvatierra rated it liked it Shelves: speculative-fiction , british-sf. Inception-like speculative fiction that despite some time-specific references i. The central premise is the development of the 'Wessex Project': an idealistic academic project based in an ancient hill-fort a nice reference to the complex links between past, present, and future to discover the means to reach an idyllic future world of political and economic stability. What is the advantage of tapping into these 39 expert's collective unconscious rather than, say, setting up an ordinary think tank and having them discuss plans for the future over coffee and cookies? The novel opens with a chapter from the perspective of Julia Stretton, the project's youngest participant, and then adopts the viewpoint of some other participants as well to provide a fleshed out picture of this future Wessex that comes out as disconcertingly real, an entertaining imagining. The relationship became more and more important to the plot as it progressed, which made it seem less convincing by the time of the final resolution. The idea of collective imagining, also, could have used more development: I would have loved to see some of the discussions of the group before starting the projection, or knowing how they actually gave form to the idyllic future Wessex. There is something very meta about this novel, not only in the plot's ultimate resolution, but in the premise itself. The Wessex Project as an elaborate form of wish-fulfilment, an intellectual indulgence by people who want to avoid the real world - the notion mirrors the way many people think of science fiction, doesn't it? Witness the pithy summary made of the project by the unspecified narrative voice, that echoes the more critical reactions to it within the narrative: 'Wessex, tourist island in an imagined future, became the ultimate escapist fantasy, a bolt-hole from reality. Could you live in an imagined reality even if you knew it was just the fabrication of a collective unconscious? I don't think I could, but it's certainly worth considering. The most interesting parts of the book were indeed the ones that attempted to capture the difference between dream and reality, that ineffable difference when you are in a dream that feels palpably real. Compared to another work of British sf from the period, Kairos , this novel's exploration of the limits between thought and reality is more rigorously thought-out, and therefore more thought-provoking. So, although the book does have some shortcomings and omissions that might have made it richer, it is a convincing and enjoyable read that has not aged badly at all.

Note: This novel contains triggers of domestic violence, narcissistic personality disorder, attempted rape, sexual exploitation and blackmail. This novel is a mind-twisting look at the potential of a simulated reality. In this late twentieth century dystopia that never came to pass, the world is tearing itself apart. But an odd project is in existence: people are leaving their real lives behind to slide their bodies into mortuary drawers and join a hypnotically projected, collective simulated rea Note: This novel contains triggers of domestic violence, narcissistic personality disorder, attempted rape, sexual exploitation and blackmail. But an odd project is in existence: people are leaving their real lives behind to slide their bodies into mortuary drawers and join a hypnotically projected, collective simulated reality of a strange future. One such woman is Julia, who is perpetually running from her narcissistic, abusive ex- boyfriend, until she smashes into him at the project offices in London. She has been ordered to find and investigate the "disappearance" of projector participant David Harkman, whose alter ego cannot be located within the simulated reality. But once she joins the projection, she cannot remember the real world and is lost within her alter-ego. Yet this is only the beginning of a twisted tale; because Julia's maniacal former "love" Paul Mason has been hired to infiltrate the projection and "set it back on course", tearing apart the boundaries of simulation and reality. Feb 01, Onni rated it it was ok. This story didn't feel right to me. The sensibilities of the late s England, mixed with a pseudo-futuristic "machine" to project the characters into a multi-consciousness vision of the future is a time-shifting story that left out too many details and that plagued me throughout the book. For example, if David Harkman has been in the projection for two years without retrieval, how is he fed, cleaned, and allowed to "linger"? No round mirrors in the future? Every woman's purse has a round mirr This story didn't feel right to me. Every woman's purse has a round mirror in her compact! And what the heck happened to Paul Mason when he was allowed to take over the project and become the director of the projection-- he just goes crazy and huddles in a corner when opposed? I didn't mind Julia, but I just couldn't resolve all the issues and inconsistencies in the story to call it good. Mar 21, Raj rated it liked it Shelves: sci-fi. I have to admit that I approached this book with some trepidation, having not really liked The Separation , but I enjoyed this quite a lot. It's about a group of scientists who explore the nature of reality by creating their own "projected" world and living in it, with alternate personalities for months at a time. A nice little piece about the nature of reality, and a good human story of conflict with one of the participants having to deal with an abusive ex-boyfriend. The end was confusing, but I have to admit that I approached this book with some trepidation, having not really liked The Separation , but I enjoyed this quite a lot. The end was confusing, but when you get layers of reality like this, it often is. It could probably do with a re-read. Jul 26, Adam Whitehead rated it it was amazing. Julia Stretton is a researcher for the Ridpath projection, a machine that has generated a completely convincing simulation of what the world may look like in the early 22nd Century. In the projection, the south-west of England has broken away from the rest of the island of Britain due to an earthquake and has become something of a holiday resort, tolerated by a communist government in London for the sake of international relations. In this vision of the future Julia finds herself drawn to a man Julia Stretton is a researcher for the Ridpath projection, a machine that has generated a completely convincing simulation of what the world may look like in the early 22nd Century. In this vision of the future Julia finds herself drawn to a man named David for reasons she doesn't quite understand, but in the real world the arrival of her ex-lover on the project's staff causes chaos for Julia and the project Like many of Priest's books, it contains musings on memory, identity, consciousness and reality. The book also describes what looks suspiciously like a prophetic virtual reality cyberspace simulation some years ahead of such things becoming fashionable thanks to cyberpunk. The novel features Priest's traditional narrative hallmark, namely being written in clear and readable prose through which the author laces several narrative and thematic time bombs that explode in the reader's face at key points dubbed 'The Priest Effect' by David Langford , including several hours after you finish the book when you suddenly go, "Hang on, does that mean Characterisation is excellent, with Julia an interesting protagonist who spends part of the book in fear of her ex-lover, but eventually coming to terms on how to deal with him through internal reasoning rather than a more obvious and melodramatic external form beating him up or having some big speech, for example. As usual with Priest, what he doesn't say about the characters can be as important as what he does say, leaving the reader with some intriguing interpretive work to do. However, it's the incredible ending that will sit for the longest in the reader's mind. It maybe isn't as completely mind- blowing as The Separation's conclusion or as deeply haunting and unsettling as The Prestige's, but it's still astonishingly well-written and haunting. What's even more startling is that it isn't even Priest's strongest work. Nov 03, D. A Dream of Wessex was published in , when Britain was feeling bleaker by the day, though the desire to lose oneself in a better future makes as much sense today as it did then. I found myself reading it more as a literary novel that makes use of a science fiction setting than as a traditional science fiction novel, though as far as I know, it was the novel that introduced the science fiction device of shared dreaming. This book started out as a slog for me. It had a slow start, to the point of being almost boring, and the only reason I kept returning to the book is because I had heard it was supposed to be some kind of mind-bending story. It had an intriguing idea, but the story itself started off with a lot of discussion about surfing and tidal bores, and it quickly lost me. By about the halfway point, the story picked up, in part due to Priest's skills at characterization. His two main characters had a chemi This book started out as a slog for me. His two main characters had a chemistry that worked despite the story being told in a very plain, straightforward style, and the two of them drew me in. He also included an antagonist who is loathsome and repulsive, enough to help the reader root for the two protagonists, even if they aren't already invested in their story. By the time the story started to come together, I was invested in the whole thing, and it was hard to tear me away from the book. The book is also similar to Philip K. Dick's books, in that Priest is examining reality and how we define it. The premise of the book is that a group of scientists, researchers, sociologists, etc. They can move in and out of the projection, from to and back again, with the intention of recording what they see in this projected future. Different personalities affect the projection differently, and before long, the reader and the participants are questioning what makes one reality more real than another. This is a book I would recommend with caveats, since it does have such a slow beginning. It's worth persevering, though, and the themes and ideas of the story will leave readers much to think about. Plus, it's much, much better than . Mar 27, Escoville rated it it was amazing. I read this book about four times when it was new, and am now reading it again after 40 years. I think it was Richard Feynman who said of quantum theory that if you weren't seriously disturbed by it, you hadn't understood it. The same is true of this book. Let's get one thing clear: it's not a story about the future. It is well and truly based in the s which really were as bad as he makes the decade seem. The 'future' is not so much an imagined future as an alternative present. It is not a I read this book about four times when it was new, and am now reading it again after 40 years. It is not a utopia, it is simply different. The imagined society is created only for the purposes of the experiment: it takes the form of a more or less benign Soviet bureaucracy imposing a certain order in which small freedoms can flourish up to a point and thus allow the experiment to proceed. Any more than a dream 'exists'. Hence the title. Most of the inhabitants are 'ghosts', just like most of those who inhabit our dreams. However, and this is what makes the book so disturbing: we recognize dreams as dreams mainly and someimes only because no one else shares them. Here, the experimental dream is shared, and it is because the elaboration of the shared-dream idea is so well carried out that it becomes so disturbing. The people projected into the dream world are unaware of the 'real' world, but they are uneasily semi-aware that they appear to have no real past in the dream world either. There is also a mind-wrenching twist in the tale at the end. This is one of the few books which have stopped me sleeping. Another was Priest's other early work, . While I have read all his later works too, I think these two early ones are his best. I absolutely loved A Dream of Wessex. A Dream of Wessex is brilliantly told and despite the science fiction aspect of the story, relationships are really at the heart of the story. This being Priest, you can expect a blurring of lines between Wessex and reality, past and present and dreams within the dream. Although the project in the book is explicitly socio-political, the focus of the plot and its themes is psychological, with a side order of metaphysical as Priest explores how real the projected reality you can read about in the plot summary really is. That could be a really good time and is probably preferable to some kind of detailed socio-political analysis of a future Wessex. But I guess I just wasn't that interested in the characters' lives - particularly when one of them sinks a bunch of time into a kind of future outdoor pastime and we get pages of description of how this works and how the character feels about it. Quidditch sounds more fun. Annnnyway, still giving it three stars, because I did enjoy it. If nothing else, it's fun to read about a future imagined in the 70s and see the preoccupations of the time played out, plus a bunch of stuff no longer seem plausible because of what we've seen come to pass IRL. Like the biplanes in the film Metropolis. If, by some chance, I could have read this book when it was published I am pretty sure that I would have been thrilled about the premise and forgiving about the poor characterization, oversimplified plot and banal situations. The premise of projected world within a world within a world and a person's struggle to figure out what is real and what not, view spoiler [even one's self hide spoiler ] would probably blow me away. However, from the perspective of , after having seen Matrix a If, by some chance, I could have read this book when it was published I am pretty sure that I would have been thrilled about the premise and forgiving about the poor characterization, oversimplified plot and banal situations. However, from the perspective of , after having seen Matrix and, even more relevant in this case, Inception, that premise and the treatment of it is not novel anymore and all the shortcomings become more obvious. This is the first book by Priest where I really struggled to read it and not because I identified with the protagonists and got close to quitting couple of times. Having said all that, there are couple of scenes, especially ones involving surfing on a motorized floating devices that survived the passage of time and are worthy of author's name. May 06, Carl Bennett rated it liked it. Some nice poetic verging on the mystical lines about Wessex but the characterisations aren't very deep and so much of it is so dated. First published in it goes on a bit about typewriters and the idea of a futuristic society without computing jars too much to not irritate. I liked the conceit about Dorchester Marina, but otherwise it didn't really engage. You may not be able to judge a book by it's cover "The flares! The lapels! The shirt collar! The length of his hair! Julia was 'destroyed' by her ex, yet seems to live, walk, breath, eat, have sex a couple of times and fall in love. Odd that you never hear it now. Apr 14, Mei rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy-and-science-fiction. Without giving too much away, it's a loop within a loop within a loop, and the kind where you have to sit down and actually conceptualise it, at which point your head either explodes or you realise it doesn't work. I'm not going to tell you which is which! But it's a piece of nice writing, albeit with a style from a different age - you only have to look at the cover to tell - but it works. Virtual reality mixed with collective hallucination, as a group of academics get together to imagine the a future into being, and by the end it's hard to be sure what's real and what isn't. Absorbing and unsettling. Notable also for featuring a utopian future in which England is a communist and b welcoming to Muslims, and for having a smart, thoughtful female protagonist who is also a sensitively-drawn survivor of domestic abuse. Nov 28, Steven rated it it was amazing. They say that this book was the basis or the inspiration for the movie Inception. Easy to see why On a side note the American version of this book was called "The Perfect Lover" which I found to be a totally ridiculous title. A Dream of Wessex has a nice ring to it and even has promise to it The Perfect Lover has the ring of a trashy romance novel, lmao what the hell were they thinking? Sep 30, Jeff Suter rated it it was amazing. An eclectic book - as is much of Chrstopher Priest's work - with an "English" sensibility. A scientific experiment conducted during a time of Geo-political upheaval Priest forecasts, more or less, what is happening now. However, the experiment is disturbed by the element of an abusive and egotistical man. One of the first SF novels that examines psychological and domestic abuse in a relationship. Apr 28, Martin Lake rated it it was amazing. This book left traces in my mind. I've often thought that the most exciting art is when a writer works at the boundaries of genres and in this Priest dances along the boundary between science fiction, alternate history, utopia and dystopia with a mature love story thrown in for good measure. It's superb. I was so in awe of it that I couldn't write for ages. Got over that though. Sep 16, Dan Yingst rated it liked it. For the majority, it was unclear why Paul was so threatening, and when his actions take a dramatically evil turn they're so extreme that it makes Julia seem like an idiot for not responding more forcefully. We're repeatedly told about his hold over her, but the showing is lacking. Jun 03, Nathaniel Johnson rated it it was ok. It works more as a slice-of-life story in a science fiction setting than anything else. I was hoping for a bit of something different, but you can't always get what you want. The setting was interesting, and the characters weren't bad But the setting description and story itself was dissatisfying. Sep 11, Cheryl rated it liked it Shelves: en-christopher-priest. Some of it seem real but not quite. It like the book before inception. Jul 12, Sean Randall rated it liked it. I wasn't captivated by this. Parts of it did interest me, but there was something about the writing style which I found it a little difficult to connect with.

A Dream of Wessex - Wikipedia

She felt a sense of great loss, and an overwhelming sadness, and a sure knowledge that someone she had loved was no longer there. The power is to have the subversive layer of the story seep in your real non-fictional life. Like a virus, invisible before you feel its effects. This book has a staggering power of abstraction. And so it traps you through the fictional pretense and drags you on that other side. It was as if there were a false experience in memory, one given to him. It seemed that he had been walking alone through the boulevard all evening and into the night, with entirely spurious memories appearing in sequences to supply the false experience. Memory was created by events surely? A strangeness in the familiar. The plot is fairly straightforward and not too convoluted. Some fancy technology development allowed to build a virtual reality machine. In the early days the reports the participants had made had reflected the spirit of the projection: that they were discovering a society, and speculating about the way it was run. As time passed, though, and as the participants became more deeply embedded in that society, their reports had gradually became more factual in tone, relating the future society to itself rather than to the present. Expressed in a different way, it meant that the participants were treating the projection as a real world, rather than one which was a conscious extrapolation from their own. But there are no flying cars or A. This imagined future is a social research and the premise is a technological stagnation that made the future not unlike the present. It turns out like a holiday resort with a hippie community living into an old castle. Being participative, this universe needs to extrapolate a coherent whole from all the minds projecting it, using the interesting property of memory not explicitly stated in the book, but described as exactly this of spontaneously smoothing whatever problem or inconsistency may come up. Reality, past and present, is not static. It shifts subtly, or even more dramatically. Leaving only a fleeting impression that something is missing. This is where the story always return and always gives a priority. Characterization here, outside of prejudices, is really solid. Here I return to Asimov. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.
