Have you read _The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch_ by Philip K Dick? It's not exactly what you're talking about, but it reminds me of it. Martian colonists endure unbearable living conditions by taking drugs which send them into a delusion state where they take the place of little dolls in playlets they've bought. Whenever I see elaborate miniature battles, it makes me think of
it. Anyhow, whenever you think of layers of reality and lies being shuffled and confused, you need Dick. Well . . .you know what I mean.
