Description
During a time racked by war and environmental catastrophe, George Orr discovers his dreams alter reality. Fearing his ability, he is compelled to receive treatment from Dr. William Haber, an ambitious sleep psychiatrist who quickly grasps the immense power George holds. After becoming adept at manipulating George's dreams to reshape the world, Haber seeks the same power for himself. George--with some surprising help--must resist Haber's attempts, which threaten to destroy reality itself. A prescient book in its exploration of the moral risks of overwhelming power, it also considers issues related to technology and utopias.
