A review by larsinio
We Can Build You by Philip K. Dick
1.0
The 27th PKD book i read, and by far the worst.
Ironically his worst is the one that features a Strong Female Character.
This book sets up to be an interesting tale of psychosis mixed with artificial psychosis, between human and android.
However its just a mess. The main plot is abandoned about 2/3 of the book, never to return. See ya, Lincoln and Stanton. Turns it it never mattered. Instead the reader is presented with a crash course mental illness sequence that is extremely rushed and feels ufinished and filled with obsolete gobbeldy gick about schizofrenia centered around the obsession with a mentally ill Strong Female Character. Sure PKD uses schizophrenia quite a bit, but its the worst application here.
Dont know how this one got published. 1 star, because i cant recommend even to PKD fans - it makes you think less of him.
