THIS year is the 100th anniversary of the most famous sociological tract ever written, "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," by Max Weber. ![]() ![]() Douglas Hall is determined to find out the truth about this whole story. And maybe Fuller's death wasn't accidental? The disappearance of the company's head of security and of secret notes left by the inventor seem to confirm this hypothesis. He will quickly realize that the projects of Horace P Siskin, the president of REACO, owner of the Simulacron 3, are not as disinterested as he claims. Douglas Hall, his assistant, replaces him quite naturally. Synopsis: Hannon Fuller, the inventor of Simulacron 3, a total environment simulator, has just died in an accident. The sister edition "The Counterfeit World" was the UK release, and "Simulacron-3" was the US release.
