Love how the ending just made me wonder what really happened. It’s a funky little read and the outfit descriptions and advertisements actually made it even more entertaining!

I’ve read a decent amount of Phillip K Dick books, but it has been a while since I have. Reading this I was like “yeah, this is a Phillip K Dick book. this is what they are like.” there’s a vibe they have, or a feeling they induce . . . idk. I really want to know what he would have thought of Mr. Beast. Also why does he write about breasts as if he’s never seen a woman naked. Wasn’t he married like 8 times.
