4.5

A powerful and exciting read that explores the concepts of propaganda, political power, and the moral implications of distorting reality. I was actually very blown away by how epic and suspenseful the main storyline was, something I haven't really seen in other books by PKD. But then again, the high level of paranoia and numerous mindfucks as expected from PKD is definitely here too. This is a strange yet amazing book that screams "Philip K. Dick" but stands out from the rest of his works as well.
