Summary
Does your lifestyle not fit the person inside you? Then try someone else on for size!
Call him whatever. Call him whomever. He can be any legally authorized fictional character or dead celebrity he wants for six to eight hours, simply by injecting a DNA-laced cocktail into his brain stem. ItâÈçs called Big Egos and itâÈçs the ultimate role-playing fantasy from Engineering Genetics Organization and Systems (aka EGOS.) And, as one of the quality controllers for EGOS, heâÈçs the ultimate ego-tripper, taking on more artificial identities than advisableâÈ'and having a hell of a time doing it. Problem is, heâÈçs starting to lose the ability to separate fact from fiction. His every fantasy is the new reality. And the more roles he plays, the less of him remains. Sure, itâÈçs dangerous. Yes, heâÈçs probably losing his mind. Okay, hundreds of others could be at risk. But sometimes who you are isnâÈçt good enough. And the truth is, reality is so overrated. . . .
With his insightful wit, smart humor, and electrifying narrative, acclaimed author S. G. Browne takes readers on a satirical and provocative trip into the not-too-distant future, where, for some, pretending to be someone youâÈçre not is just another day at the office.
