“Not one of Dick's best but still a pretty good one. This is the novel he wrote whilst depending on the I Ching for plot direction, and it becomes pretty apparent how it drastically changed the plot near the end.”

I read this shortly after reading Ubik, and saw a lot of similarities between the two books.

“Philip K. Dick seamlessly merges the boundary between thriller and science fiction in this fast paced book. In addition to this, the framework formed in the book allows him to explore and question various social questions like "who is God" and hypothesis like "what will be behave like if we **knew** the existence of God". A truly multi-faceted book which uses sci-fi merely as an excuse for the creation of an alternate world and allows him to show a stern reflection of ourselves”
