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.

Besides cheating and choosing a Star Trek novel, I can think of several.
Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl might not be a bad one. Almost no matter who I chose, I’d have a comfortable life style.
Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn would be miserable to live in, but if I was a character with allomancy, that might be acceptable.
Is there any answer other than Star Trek?
NOT The Bible.
God, or Twilight, I haven’t seen the movies but I’m sure that’s the worst possible option.
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.
I’m not sure you too away from that story what you should have.
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.
