A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick

4.0

A Scanner Darkly is the fourth Philip K. Dick novel I've read, or to be precise it's the first P.K.D. novel I've listened to. (Unabridged, narrated by Paul Giamatti.) I've also seen the movie a couple of times and really like it. This book consists of drugs, confusion, paranoia, control, frustration, struggle and lost dreams. There might be a little bit of hope too. I didn't feel overly futuristic or cyberpunkish, but that could also be the case because I had seen the movie first. I would definitely recommend this book and might even read it again.
