Distopia at its finest characters with emotional depth. A novel with a sense of purpose and that purpose being ' cherish what you have as things could be freighteningly different' Democracy and civil liberties will always have opponents willing to undermine these important hard one freedoms at any opportunity. I rate this book not only on an equal footing with Electric Dreams but also as a worthy successor to Orwell's 1984 and Huxleys Brave New World. To own an original Copy with that exquisite jacket designed by Robert Galister is like owning a precious stone!

Alternate history doesn't get any better than in this Philip K. Dick novel. Set in the then-contemporary world of 1962, it chronicles the lives of its characters in an America that had lost World War II and was divided into Japanese and German zones of occupation. Dick uses this setting to explore many of his standard themes about the nature of reality, but this is done within the framework of an enjoyable story that is never less than entertaining.
