Macroscope is probably the best thing Piers Anthony has ever written (what has he put out since then that's even close?) I, too, read it several years ago and can only remember the intriguing split personality sequences and the hallucinatory battle scenes near the end which compare well with Zelazny. Anthony also wrote a nice story for Harlan Ellison's "Again, Dangerous Visions" called In The Barn, which is definitely worth reading. I haven't been impressed with his recent stuff. Looks like a classic case of a promising young talent's degeneration into hackhood... Bill Hsu pur-ee!hsut
