An interesting read ( ![]() ”spaced out!” say the characters a lot, and unfortunately so is the book. Probably an accurate depiction of a drugged up/”high” addict's perception of the world... too well simulated to be comprehensible or enjoyable for a ”straight” like me. The undercover part is better described and touches some well-thought issues most writers would miss (for example the agent has to also denounce himself constantly), but is not developed as much as I hoped. So is the philosophy (”Who am I, actually?”) - good but not developed at its full potential. The fact that I had seen the film and already knew the ending and twist did not help at all, either. By the way, I enjoyed the film way more and recommend it. I have a copy of this on my phone and I've been reading it occasionally. It's hard to get into, but maybe that's just because I'm reading it on a fucking phone. Actually didn't finish it since I couldn't get into the story or characters. I had hoped it would be similar to "Limitless" due to substance D, but it was far from it and the narrative was too choppy for me. Fred es el agente de policía encargado de iinvestigar y detener a Bob Arctor, peligroso y tafricante de la adictiva y letal Sustancia D. Para ello, Fred se adentra en un mundo donde resulta difícil diferenciar la realidad de los sueños y se sumerge en un juego perverso con Bob, en el que será a la vez cazador y presa, hasta que la pesadilla culmina con un sorprendente enfrentamiento final entre el policía y el traficante.

Bob Arctor is a dealer of the lethally addictive drug Substance D. Fred is the police agent assigned to tail and eventually bust him. To do so, Fred takes on the identity of a drug dealer named Bob Arctor. And since Substance D--which Arctor takes in massive doses--gradually splits the user's brain into two distinct, combative entities, Fred doesn't realize he is narcing on himself.
