I usually like, no, love PKD stories, but this one made me shake my head so many times. I admit to being pretty disappointed. I have loved nearly everything I’ve read by PKD, but not this one. I find it unbelievably dated. Especially when it concerned mental health or what we now call neurodiversity and even racism and cultural bias. And why didn’t any SF writers from the 50s and 60s anticipate digital?!? I don’t normally fault authors for that, because it’s so widespread.

Showing its age now I'm afraid. Amoral union barons, bored housewives and backwards attitudes to mental and physical disabilities do not make a fun read for this not overly modern reader. The usual PKD preoccupation with reality and decay are here again and the story is not uninteresting but that's not quite enough to make up for the rest, so not bad but not a PKD classic in my opinion.
