It was a warm afternoon in early September when I first met the Illustrated Man.

pickI loved this fast-paced, genre-bending novel that seamlessly switched between POVs and perfectly balanced the science-fiction with the mystery. I enjoyed watching each character‘s story come together and overlap until the aha moment of why we‘re getting each of their POVs.
The only thing that put me off a little bit was Andy. (Slight spoiler in comments.)

so-soWhile the book has an interesting premise—Captain “Black Jack“ Geary, a hero frozen in time for a century, who wakes up to find the fleet's tactics have devolved into mindless charges—the book is heavily focused on the how of getting a fleet home, which means a lot of detailed descriptions of engagements, formation changes, and missile deployment. For military sci-fi fans, this tactical depth is the main appeal. Not for me, I expected more SciFi.

This is one of PKD's more surreal novels, one of his later ones leading towards the VALIS books, so the plot is minimal and ideas & archetypes are prominent.
The story begins in a future pseudo-socialist dystopia: Joe leads a pointless, unfulfilling life, filling his time with vacuous games played remotely with people he's never met. In an episode of mental crisis, Joe is saved from the secret police by a mysterious alien entity, ⬇️
