I saw this question posed on Mastodon. If you got lost in space and rescued by aliens who made you live in a simulation for the next 40 years based on a book, what would it be?

For me: The Great Gatsby. I would have to play the part of Nick and just get drunk all the time.

Besides cheating and choosing a Star Trek novel, I can think of several.

Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl might not be a bad one. Almost no matter who I chose, I'd have a comfortable life style.

Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn would be miserable to live in, but if I was a character with allomancy, that might be acceptable.
