An excellent science fiction novel that not only manages to capture the reader’s attention through quick, witty dialogue and superb storytelling, but then transforms into a complete decomposition of the reader’s psyche and seeks to unravel what exactly makes us human—which I must say, it accomplished this task with ease. Dick’s style of prose is misleading, as it is easy to read, yet is still loaded with tonnes of subtext that is often pertinent to the characters and story.
Definitely an amazing and very interesting read that I would recommend, even to people who don’t traditionally enjoy “science fiction”
