"Widely acknowledged as Yasutaka Tsutsui's masterpiece, Paprika unites his surreal, quirky imagination with a compelling, haunting narrative. When prototype models of a device for entering into patients' dreams go missing at the Institute for Psychiatric Research, it transpires that someone is using them to manipulate people's dreams and drive them insane. Threatened both personally and professionally, brilliant psychotherapist Atsuko Chiba has to journey into the world of fantasy to fight her mysterious opponents. As she delves ever deeper into the imagination, the borderline between dream and reality becomes increasingly blurred, and nightmares begin to leak into the everyday realm. The scene is set for a final showdown between the dream detective and her enemies, with the subconscious as their battleground, and the future of the waking world at stake"--… (más)

Death by Dreaming por Jon Manchip White (bluepiano)
bluepiano: Also centred in a place where dreams are studied and dreaming manipulated though not like this one a thriller: In Death by Dreaming the dreams are more important, and memorable, than the battle of good guy v bad one. Not weighty, but a good book.

Ahhh, the 90’s optimistic view of new virtual technologies. It was nice when we could imagine technology used for the benefit of people but be warned of the dangers of its misuse, which is a contradictory to the Facebook Oculus vision of the present future, which will never be a benefit for human kind but instead targeted advertising, endless amounts of rhythm games and trying to watch a virtual concert or movie with your friends while strangers yell obscenities.

The idea behind this book is superb. Using dreamwalking to help treat mental illness. And when the dream world and real world start to mesh. However when they do mesh this story is so hard to follow it made the end of the book really hard to get through. I'd probably give this more like 2.5 starts if half stars were available. (

I can only assume that this purported 'masterpiece' suffers from a poor translation to English. I found it overtly misogynistic and disjointed, with cardboard characters and weird imagery. I can sort of understand the disjointed nature of the narrative since we are exploring dream technology but... Our female protagonist coolly and calculatedly fights through challenges one moment, then spends the next paragraph shrilly pleading to be raped by her colleagues as that will save her from the bad guys. Uh... wut?!?

I simply didn't get the point of this mess of a novel. (

Scientists are finding new ways to treat mental illnesses every day. Some treatments border on the science-fiction. So what about a device that enters the dreams of a patient, can let the person treating them directly access the other's subconscious world and alter it? When the line between reality and dreams blur, where will science stand? Paprika, the basis for the Satoshi Kon film of the same name, tackles these massive issues and somehow manages to come out on the other side intact. If anything, Paprika is a battle to control reality as we know it.

You can read my complete review of the novel PAPRIKA at my blog. (

Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui Ha Ha. Another weird Japanese novel full of sex and odd stances and sentences.

A kind of sci-fi / detective / surrealistic book full of those hierarchical relationships that baffle westerners. Set in an experimental psychiatric research institute where a powerful instrument is stolen and used to send people mad.

If it wasn't written by a Japanese and set in Japan you would think it was rubbish but it is not. It has that inscrutable logic all through it and in spite of the weirdness it is a good read (
