This Perfect Day by Ira Levin

It's good, but I didn't like it as much as the other ones.
It's the usual scenario of a totalitarian entity - Uni - who's running the planet: I saw some of the Matrix in it. Few people realize that their life is not a real one and they try to fight back. Only Chip will succeed.
To be honest, I don't think that life in Uni is as bad as in other alternative realities. And once in a while Chip is annoying: a know-it-all in infancy and a macho man in his adult, non-sedated life. There is a rape and it doesn't add anything to the story, so why go there?
