Publisher's 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 brainstem. It's called Big Egos and it's the ultimate role-playing fantasy from Engineering Genetics Organization and Systems (a.k.a. EGOS). And, as one of the quality controllers for EGOS, he's the ultimate ego-tripper, taking on more artificial identities than advisable - and having a hell of a time doing it. Problem is, he's 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, it's dangerous. Yes, he's probably losing his mind. Okay, hundreds of others could be at risk. But sometimes who you are isn't goodenough. 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 you're not is just another day at the office.

Big ideas that don't land

The book seemed to have wanted to explore some philosophical ideas surrounding the ego and the id, but ultimately left the plot behind in trying to do so. Again, with the author's focus on naming so many celebrities, some sections or chapters felt like a tedious roll call rather than interesting plot devices.

Okay read, but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.
