Dayworld Rebel (The Dayworld Trilogy Book 2)

In this dystopian adventure set on an overpopulated planet, Jeff Caird was once a daybreaker—a criminal who evaded government-mandated suspended animation by maintaining seven different identities. Now living as William St.-George Duncan, he has suppressed memories of his past and true identity to escape severe punishment from the Organic Commonwealth of Earth's authorities. However, the government continues to pursue him, seeking something important he has forgotten. In the wilderness of northern New Jersey, Dunc joins a group of rebel daybreakers. As he attempts to recover the buried memory the government wants, he learns of a larger movement opposing the World Council's control system, which restricts citizens to one day of consciousness per week. The knowledge hidden within him may prove crucial to the rebels' cause. This is the second book in Philip José Farmer's Dayworld trilogy, exploring a future where extreme overpopulation has necessitated unprecedented restrictions on personal freedom.
