conversations.value: Life's Lottery: Life\'s Lottery opens speculating on the question of free will and predestination.\nThe reader is invited to decide for themselves which philosophy to follow in reading the book and then is presented with Keith\'s birth in England on October 4, 1959.\nKeith is raised in England by a successful banker and has, as the author points out, "been dealt a better hand than many".\nThe boy is spoiled by his parents and enters primary school shy and timid.\nThe book offers its first choice on the first day, when Keith is confronted and teased by a gang.\nThe consequences of the choice - "Napoleon Solo or Illya Kuryakin.\n" - set Keith on a path that determines his lifelong friends, enemies, and opportunities.\nFollowing this key point, the plot paths diverge wildly, and range from Keith winning the lottery, becoming a distinguished novelist, making a bomb threat, having an incestuous affair, committing a murder, and making a deal with the Devil.\nShould the reader decide to disregard the novel\'s interactive nature and read through it as any other book, he is presented with both immediate outcomes of the first decision and perspective then switches to the two doctors who are observing Keith; one confirms that this is Keith Marion, "of Marion syndrome", and the other remarks that although he is in a coma, he looks "quite ordinary", considering his symptoms.\nThe rest of the novel includes every possible scenario that the reader could encounter, all of them playing out in Keith\'s mind.\nThe stream of thought is occasionally interrupted by another scene with the doctors, each of which slowly leaks information to the reader, who eventually learns that he is not assuming the role of a man named Keith Marion.\nRather, the protagonist is a woman named Marion Keith, who, in her coma, spends her time speculating on what her life might be like had she been born a man.\nEventually, she settles on an outcome in which she is a man laboring for a living in Tibet.
