by Philip K. Dick
“There it is! There it is! There’s that dented beetle! Yes! Whooooooooooo! Ha-ha! Ha…

The immortal scene from the Truman Show kept popping into my mind halfway though the book.
This is very early Dick indeed, but still its captivating and interesting, given that it's written in 59 the cold war of course are forward in mind, but still read in 2017 it don't feel dated.
Dick plays with some of his favorite themes, later to be perfected in UBIK and "we can remember it for you wholesale", the whole concept of the individual versus the rest of the world. How do we know that the physical world actually exist ? and if it exists is it only as a background theme for your life, after all we are all the most important person in our own world.
