3.0

Short read on sci-fi/dystopian, about George Orr who has powerful dreams that could alter reality. He was sent to a psychiatrist, who then used George’s dream to create an ideal world. Or was it?

I don’t have a strong opinion on this book. Centralising the question of ethics, I believe this book has stated its preferences already based on the outcomes narrated. It also contains elaborated explanations on sleep and dream, go figure what it has led me to.
