Excellent story a true science fiction master. A little mystery with your science.
Classic Sci find complete with aliens but some strange drug-crazed twists and typical American taking games too seriously.

A dismal future for Earth - rather the norm for PKD. I enjoyed it.
Hampered by Dick's long-standing misogyny rearing its head here and there, but still showcases Dick's imaginative powers in full flow. Full review: https://fakegeekboy.wordpress.com/2015/12/20/the-days-of-perky-dick/
Its definitely a PKD book. Mental disorders, mind altering drugs, flying cars, vid phones, multiple identities are all here in full force.
I was decently surprised by its unpredictable plot twists and the premise about game of chance being used as ruling paradigm and psuedo religion was pretty interesting. The last 20% of the book moves a bit too quickly for the amount of changes/twists occuring - PKD always seems to rush through the last chunk of his novels.

quite enjoyable and a quick read. the only other philip k. dick novel i've read so far is "a scanner darkly" (though i've seen my share of philip k. dick movie adaptations). "the game-players of titan" is a bit lighter in both substance and level of paranoia. so if you want something dark and/or thought-provoking i'd recommend "a scanner darkly" over this book. but if you just want something enjoyable (and that still has the typical philip k. dick elements) then "the game-players of titan" is great.
