Simulacron-3,
Daniel F. Galouye's remarkable and visionary
novel of virtual reality, was published in l964 and became the
basis of the l997 Josef Rusnak film, The Thirteenth Floor.
Douglas Hall, the scientific researcher who narrates this
novel,works for Reactions, Inc., inventor of the mysterious reality
simulator, the Simulacron -3. When one colleague, Morton
Lynch, disappears and another, Hannon Fuller, is murdered, Hall
is sent by the owner of Reaction, Inc., Horace P. Siskin, on a
mission to discover a killer. He finds himself in a strange and
murky world, a world which seems to be the New Orleans of l937
but which differs from that city in certain sinister ways. Here,
Hall meets a mysterious and seductive "assistant", Jinx, who
seems oddly familiar ("deja vu means love at first sight," she
promises.). Hall must find a killer and solve the mystery of this
new world. Soon enough, however, Hall realizes that he is
himself quarry.
Daniel Francis Galouye (l920-l976), the author, was a World War
II combat veteran, journalist and resident of New Orleans. His
first published story,
Rebirth,
appeared in
Imagination
in l95l and
in the decade following he published short stories and novelettes
through the range of the science fiction market. His first novel,
Dark Universe
(l96l), was highly regarded and was a runner-up
for the Hugo Award (Heinlein's
Stranger In A Strange Land
was
the winner); subsequent novels were
Lords Of The Psychon,
Simulacron-3, The Lost Perception
and
The Infinite Man;
there
were also two short story collections. Galouye who had a steel
plate in his head, a residue of severe war wounds, died of the
effects of those injuries at the age of 56.
