Glasshouse

 Glasshouse is another one from Charles Stross, it is the distant future, and humans can now live forever if they so choose, but for whatever reason many of them grow bored and decide to have their memory wiped clean so as to start over.

We meet a man who has had his memory wiped, seemingly on purpose, he's recuperating, when he is approached by a group that wants to perform a study.  The study involves placing recently wiped individuals into a recreation of mid 20th century life.

 He agrees of course, and from there we follow Stross down a peculiar rabbit hole.

 I liked this book, its a solid little science fiction piece.  Stross is not the strongest(nor the weakest) prose writer so don't expect any extravagant beautiful language, his characters are also what I'd qualify as "action characters"-- existing to perform actions not endure hardship or dwell upon their emotions.
