Losing My Home/Losing My Mind

“David B. Myers’s philosophical novel Losing My Home/Losing My Mind is an engaging thought experiment in personal identity written as a neuro sci-fi thriller. With surprising twists and turns in the protagonist’s riveting story, Myers pulls you in and simultaneously challenges you with profound questions and insights regarding how memory plots a self and its consequences—a remarkable achievement.”


—Per Brask, retired professor of theatre and film, The University of Winnipeg





“David Myers’s haunting novel begins when a philosophy professor returns from a walk to discover that he has no home, job, or friends who remember him. This science fiction tale in the vein of Philip K. Dick’s Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, and philosophical reflection that echoes Camus’s The Stranger, keeps the reader guessing about what it means to be and act like a just moral person. The answer will surprise you.”


—Roy Hammerling, professor emeritus of religion, Concordia College





“A harrowing Dantean odyssey through stimulating and informative domains (technological, legalistic, socio-political, and spiritual) entrapping an individual in a morass of questions that touch on the nature of personhood and human purposes. Along the way, the reader is drawn into a skilled and clear exposition of the choices presented by advancing technology and its subsequent challenges to our extant moral and spiritual foundations.”


—Dieter Berninger, professor emeritus of history, Minnesota State University Moorhead
