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.
Does it explain how he ended up playing in goal for Manchester City and England in the 70s and 80s?
