I haven't finished reading The Game by Terry Schott, but it's so interesting I thought I'd let you know about it. The Kindle edition is available at a good price right now.
It's a kind of science fiction series (more than one book) with this premiss: people live on a planet called Tygon that has no space travel nor any knowledge of aliens. They got so good at video games that they decided that a really magnificent game would replace their educational system. So instead of studying in school and doing homework, every child would go unconscious and wake up being born into a new life not remembering anything and experience a fresh life that would last about, say, 75 "years" on a fictional planet called "Earth." The actual duration for the child would be a few weeks, then they would wake up for awhile and then live succeeding "lives." They would repeat this until adulthood.
Kind of crazy, perhaps, but it has parallels to ideas I read in books about a certain "Law." Did anyone already read the book(s)? I tried searching in the forums and came up empty.
