Few interesting ideas, dated language, plot holes and one dimensional characters. I will attempt to read all PKD.

5 for ideas, 3 for execution. The end of this book is just painful. I'm a huge PKD fan, but this one is definitely one of his weaker works.

There's a moment at which this very almost becomes Philip K. Dick's Planet of the Apes. Alas, it was not to be.

The future as seen through the past. I appreciated the retrospective look at the social issues prevalent when the author wrote the book; however, I felt the narrative itself was lacking, rushed, and a bit contrived at points.

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