City of Illusions

I had trouble rating this book. It's a very complex short novel, the third in the Hainish Cycle. It follows a man who has lost his memory. It's an interesting way to write a story about a dystopian Earth, by following his journey across what's left of North America. We get to discover its secrets and complexities through the main characters own discovery. It was very confusing at first, but slowly came together, culminating in an exciting climax. I didn't really enjoy it until the end, when it all came together and made sense. Then it blew my mind.
