From back cover Bantam paperback January 1996:

When Joe Corrigan awakens in a Pittsburgh hospital, he discovers that his life no longer exists. As director of the supersecret Oz Project, he volunteered himself as one of the first human inhabitants of a computerized virtual world indistinguishable from reality. But the Oz Project failed, and Joe has lost everything: his wife, his friends, his colleagues, hist past. Now he finds himself in an unfamiliar world where nothing is quite as it should be. Only Lilly, a fellow Oz volunteer, is different from the others-- somehow more real. Together, they learn the terrifying truth about the world they inhabit. But can they discover a way to get out alive?

Review of 'Realtime Interrupt' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is truly one of my favourite Hogan novels. partly for the reality of the virtual reality, but partly for the emotional development. Corrigan loses much of his ambition as the novel proceeds, and for anyone so dedicated to their work that they'd backstab even their friends, it's certainly a worthwhile read. the AI stuff is quite good, too...
