Probably should have set an alarm. The Long Sleep by John Hill. 1975, cover art by Jack Faragasso. #booksky

Man (apparently) in suspended animation.

mind-raped

He woke-and discovered that somehow, somewhere, his mind had been ravished, his memory erased, and his only clue to his identity was his name: Joel.
But he was not alone. Around him the omnipresent computers typed out messages he could not decipher. Embracing him was a beautiful woman. Reassuring him was a kindly, white-haired man who told him one lie after another. And pursuing him was a figure without a face who called himself the Sandman.
Was Joel the only sane human in a world gone mad?
Or was he a hopeless maniac living out his fearful fan-tasies? Joel's long sleep was over-and his nightmare had just begun...
