moonsequel 's review for:
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
by Philip K. Dick
SCI-FI JULY #11
It’s difficult to put any of my thoughts on this book into words, like, holy…
Really really similar to Ubik, you get feuding corporations, god in the form of drugs, precogs, extraterrestrial colonization. But wayyyy better than Ubik, for me. Dick starts threading religious undertones into the plot fairly early on, whereas Ubik seemed to dump it all into the final chapter.
As typical with Dick, the story is largely impressionistic, a lot of questions and ideas are posed but never realized. Which works so well with this novel. I need to think a lot about this one before I can write any sort of meaningful analysis. Really really incredible.
