Glasshouse

When Robin wakes up in a clinic with most of his memories missing, it doesn't take him long to discover that someone is trying to kill him ...
It is the 27th century: interstellar travel is by teleport gate, and conflicts are fought by network worms that censor refugees' personalities and target historians. Robin is a civilian, now-demobilised following a civil war-but someone wants him dead because of something his earlier self knew.
Fleeing from his ruthless pursuer, he volunteers to participate in a unique experimental polity, the Glasshouse. It seems the ideal hiding place for a posthuman on the run, but in this escape-proof environment Robin will undergo even more radical change, placing him at the mercy of the experimenters - and of his own unbalanced psyche.
