Serious answer: it's good as far as the characters and conflicts within the story go (the Americana merchant being a particularly good part), but the actual scenario is so utterly absurd it's distracting in every part of the story. Read Turtledove instead
Grayson Brooks
Read Ubik, A Scanner Darkly, and The THree Stigmata of Palmer Eldrich
That is one sexy cover.

Philip K. Dicks one good book
He took his time
He contemplated his thoughts
He revised the work

Meh.
Wyatt Reyes
Hate this book because it popularized alternate history
>DUDE WHAT IF THE NAZIS HAD WON BECAUSE HITLER GOT ALIEN TECH/DINOSAURS/NUKES/AGVKKGVGVK
Shut the fuck up
Benjamin Watson
that's not it at all
and it doesn't pivot on simple technological changes
go read turtledove if that's your thing
Leo Turner
you've clearly not read the book, maybe watched the series which is completely different and shouldn't be interpreted to even based on the same material, only the same vague historical concept

I remember not thinking much of it when I read it.I must have been 15 or so at the time and I'm absolutely certain, having since spoken/listened to people who have read it a lot more closely than I, that I just didn't absorb everything that was happening. I feel like if I were to go back to it now (many, many years later) I'd get a lot more out of it, given that I am - I think - a far better reader than I was back then.

Keep in mind that the bulk of information about the capabilities, strength, production levels, etc of the Axis we have now were still largely classified and/or untranslated when Dick was writing it. The war seemed like much more of a near-run thing with the information he had access to at the time.
Julian Martinez
Yeah I'm not much of a reader, I just decided to read a Philip k dick book since a lot of people who's opinion I respect like him. I really enjoyed it even though some of it might have gone over my head
Zachary Jenkins
Good Dick, but not his best.
James Cook
A Maze of Death, Ubik, Now Wait for Last Year are all better.
Lincoln Lewis
Phil wrote to the FBI saying secret neonazi organization approached him to put coded messages in this book and then said Thomas Disch's camp concentration book contained these messages. And then in other interviews he praises that book
wtf was his problem?
Noah Morales
The demiurge traps Phil in a crazy torture box and Phil can't fight his natural instinct to try and do the same to some poor FBI agent.
Ethan Robinson
Didn't dick say he was abducted and given all the information but couldn't access all of it as a form of torture?
