The Most Important Box of Books I've Ever Opened

This also would be, I think, if you have not read Maulsberg before, probably a good taster. Not just because it's the most famous book, also because it's a stroke of genius. I adore this novel.

It is available in an omnibus along with Overlay, which is a book that I really adore.

This is one of the most intense books I've ever read. It's his reimagining of the JFK assassination in the future where these actors play out the assassination over and over again and then flashback in time to experience incidents of racial violence throughout American history. Truly potent.
