Carp was a cultural revolutionary. Over the course of 44 novels and hundreds of short stories--including the counterculture classic \u003ci\u003eThe Man They Couldn't Erase\u003c\/i\u003e--Carp pushed the boundaries of literary respectability for the sci-fi genre and his readers' perception of reality itself . . . until decades of amphetamine abuse and Southern California excess finally ended a mind-bending career that always just escaped mainstream success. He died in 1982. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUntil 2025 . . . when Benjamin J. Carp awakens, alive, in a burned-out motel on the fringes of Los Angeles. He remembers dying. He knows he shouldn't exist. Is he a dream? A robot? A ghost? A clone? A simulation? In his own time, Carp pondered all of these scenarios through his fiction--and now, as he treks from Studio City to Venice Beach and onward into the paranoid sprawl of 21st-century Los Angeles, he will be called to investigate his greatest mystery yet: himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Edgar Award nominee and Philip K.
