it didn't test what reality is, but it still had enough to say about meeting new aliens, race and politics.

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A slow build and an awkward hasty conclusion. The political maneuvers made sense, but that did not make any of the characters more appealing.

This PKD presents a multi-verse story long before that has become old hat. There is some clumsy outdated attempts to be progressive that 55 years later sound cringey. A few really good moments but not a stronger book in the PKD catalog.

I really didn’t like how the book approached race.
