The Lathe of Heaven

A must-read for anyone who enjoys a good story focused on the subjective nature of reality, which I certainly do. The only reason I'm rating it as “liked it” instead of “really liked it” is the second half doesn't quite pull its weight (not that the conclusion was completely dissatisfying or anything) and my ratings heavily favor a strong ending.

Regarding the context of the ideas that are played with in this book, I immediately thought of Steins;Gate, though the tone and underlying plot machinations completely diverge from that one point of commonality. But both share the circumstance of a single person given power they do not want, struggling with memories no one else remembers as they do their best to make things right despite the world (or the subconscious) apparently skewing itself towards chaos.
