This sounds very similar to the book

Confessions of a Sociopath A Life Spent Hiding in Plain Sight

Pretty mediocre book BTW.



sort by: page size:

You might be thinking of Blindsight by Peter Watts. Great book.

Sounds like something Philip K. Dick would've written. I guess if you squint a bit it's basically a rehash of Minority Report.

Interesting similarity with 'the light of other days'.

It's about a privacy invading technology and several sections deal with how different groups evolve that deal with the lack of privacy in different ways, both embracing and circumventing the technology.


Please link the reference here ... this sounds like a book I'd definitely want to read (though if sounds somehow familiar).

I feel like I’ve read that book before but can’t recall what it was.

Vaguely reminds me of Snake Eyes, by Tom Maddox, though not quite as extreme.

American Psycho but with lighter humor. There's definitely some similarities. I'd love to read a book lightly based on the author and his adventures during the bubble.

Sounds like a chapter from a Robert Kiyosaki book.

Sounds like the premise of novel.


On that note, there's another book that's probably similar (haven't read the one you mentioned) called "The Lights In the Tunnel" (the author has a set your own price download for those only casually interested).

Seems to me like a nonfiction / memoir version of lampshade hanging:

This reminds me a lot of House of Leaves (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24800.House_of_Leaves)

Isn't this the premise of books like "The Millionaire Next Door"?

Edit: Whelp -- not sure how I missed the link.


I thought that sounded familiar. I got the hardcover from a dollar store (for a dollar vs $27 cover price, first printing; I guess they made too many copies?). I'll have to give it a read.

Probably _Blindsight_ by Peter Watts

I cannot locate my book, but the article therein listed about 14 similarities in the plot.

Sounds like something Dan Brown would write.

Another interesting read: Memoirs Found in a Bathtub.

It’s a bit dark, but a fun jump down the post apocalyptic bureaucratic wormhole where everyone is spying on everyone and nothing is safe.
