Yes. Jame P. Hogan worked for DEC and was a gifted part time author. I loved his early books, latter he became a full time author and the quality of his writing suffered. Still quite good, but darker more dreary and less inventive. More of his stories were written to the "standard formula". This book, although poorly thought of by some people, recaptures much of his lost magic. It is almost as good as his early works.
The book was written in 1995, so cover has
Poser 2 generation of the models who became
Posette and the fellow they call
Dork as virtual people in a virtual world, the normal look man is a realworld man trapped in the virtual world but does no know it at first. There are other also trapped that way. That is enough of the plot to avoid spoiling the story.
A latter reprint of the book has an updated cover using
Poser 3 genertion people. I believe that this image is of the updated cover. On the make of the cover is the same picture but with the
Poser people removed and all the props in wireframe with the normal chap still in the same position and pose.
