Livro que li nas revistas 70 ou 80; Eu acho que o título era "A * máscara"

O livro era um livro de fantasia sobre um grupo de pessoas trabalhando juntas e, no final, você descobre que todos são companheiros de tripulação em uma nave espacial e a vida que eles estavam vivendo era realmente uma realidade virtual que o navio os colocou enquanto viajavam ( cryosleep) ou algo assim. Alguém se lembra desse livro?

"Um labirinto da morte", de Philip K. Dick

Sinopse de Wikipedia:

The plot revolves around fourteen colonists of the planet Delmak-O. They are: Betty Jo Berm, a linguist; elderly Bert Kostler, settlement custodian; Maggie Walsh, a theologian; Ignatz Thugg, who oversees thermoplastics; Milton Babble, a physician; Wade Frazer, a psychologist; Tony Dunkelwelt, a geologist; Glen Belsnor, who specialises in telecommunications; Susie Smart, a typist; Roberta Rockingham, a sociologist; Ben Tallchief, a naturalist; Seth and Mary Morley, a marine biologist couple; and Ned Russell, an economist.

[...]

One by one, the characters Tallchief, Smart, Berm, Dunkelwelt, Kostler and Walsh either kill themselves or are killed under mysterious circumstances.

[...]

All of them, including the colonists thought to be dead, awake to find that they are actually the crew of the spaceship Persus 9, stranded in orbit around a dead star with no way of calling for help. Their experiences had been a kind of virtual reality, a computer-generated religion that synthesized their beliefs. Their dormancy should save energy of the ship's life support systems for the unlikely case someone would detect the stranded ship and rescue them. It becomes clear that they already completed several cycles of virtual reality dormancy, due to the gradual disintegration each more nightmarish than the previous one.
