Bald New World by Peter Tieryas Liu
1.0
This seems to be written by someone who figured out the rough shape of PKD novels, but doesn't have the first clue about what really makes them good books.
In the future, everyone randomly loses all their hair... and apparently the sum total effect on the world is that haircare product companies fall apart and toupee companies flourish. Some toupee factory owner drives his fancy sports car into into a wall to save his factory workers, there's some pointless and pointlessly gratuitous torture, and then there's a tryhard enigmatic finale.
Reading this is like watching someone smash a block of butter onto an egg, expecting a fountain of hollandaise.
No.
