Martian Time-Slip
Martian Time-Slip | Philip K. Dick
5 posts | 17 read | 9 to read
"The writing is humorous, painful, awesome in its effect on both mind and heart . . . There are few modern novels to match it."Rolling Stone On an arid Mars, local bigwigs compete with Earth-bound interlopers to buy up land before the UN develops it and its value skyrockets. Martian Union leader Arnie Kott has an ace up his sleeve, though: an autistic boy named Manfred who seems to have the ability to see the future. In the hopes of gaining an advantage on a Martian real estate deal, powerful people force Manfred to send them into the future, where they can learn about development plans. But is Manfred sending them to the real future or one colored by his own dark and paranoid filter? As the time travelers are drawn into Manfred's dark worldview in both the future and present, the cost of doing business may drive them all insane.

My fave line: ' A person can always find two places to choose from. Home, and the rest of the world with all the other people in it'.

Another PKD mind bender. I was leaning towards giving this three stars on GR but since finishing this yesterday i haven't stopped thinking about it, especially last couple chapters. The climax reminded me a bit of the movie Inception and the ending was so cool and bizarre it's not something I'll forget for a while. Of the 20+ PKD books I own, this is one of my favorites I've read so far. Plenty more to go.
