A review by hakimbriki
The Penultimate Truth by Philip K. Dick

4.0

The Penultimate Truth is one of those PKD books that rarely anyone mentions when discussing his best works. I went in with low-to-mid expectations, but came out very impressed with the intricacies of the plot and the political commentary. Don't get me wrong, most usual PKD tropes are omnipresent in this novel (simulacra of a leader, bodyguard robots, precogs... etc.) but that didn't hinder my enjoyment of it much. I can definitely imagine a great film adaptation by Neill Blomkamp or Denis Villeneuve.
