Have you ever been afraid that your personality was changing because of forces beyond your knowledge or control? Have you ever felt sure that sudden death was about to jump you from nowhere? Have you ever thought that the whole universe might be a crazy mixed-up dream? If you have, you've had hints of the Change War."*
