The Continent of Lies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Continent of Lies is a 1984 novel written by James K. Morrow.
The Continent of Lies is a novel in which the story centers on the concept of a "cephapple," a fictional vegetable that functions like a pre-programmed dose of LSD, delivering vivid, immersive dream experiences akin to watching a compelling movie. Because users live within these dreams, the creation process is critical. The plot follows a disturbed individual who engineers a terrifying dream and finds someone to cultivate it, prompting the weary Quininn to undertake a mission to locate and destroy the resulting cephapple tree.[1]
