Just finished "Realtime Interrupt" by James P. Hogan, which I bought from Baen in August 2000.

Joe Corrigan wakes up in hospital, having lost his memory. Over the next few years, he struggles to re-integrate with society, but can't help thinking that there's something not quite right. He gradually realises that he's living inside a virtual reality simulation - one that he helped to create (not a spoiler - this occurs pretty early in the book). The book then switches between what Joe's doing in the VR world and a series of flashbacks which explain how he ended up there.

Excellent "hard SF" which will particularly appeal to computer geeks. Highly recommended.
