I saw this question posed on Mastodon. If you got lost in space and rescued by aliens who made you live in a simulation for the next 40 years based on a book, what would it be?
For me: The Great Gatsby. I would have to play the part of Nick and just get drunk all the time.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and i gotta play Hunters part. If I’m gonna be stuck there then I’m gonna be high as fuck.

Hard to say, most of my books are historical fiction, which would be horrible-living with a huge conflict during times of war and strife, or science fiction, which would be horrible for the same reasons.
But I guess I would choose Spider Robinsons The Callahan Chronicles (Cross Time Saloon) because it’s a few good stories, where the only conflict is personal…and there is plenty of beer.
