From the Back Cover

“At a time when most 20th-century science fiction writers seem hopelessly dated, Dick gives us a vision of the future that captures the feel of our time.” --Wired

“The finest American novelist of our time.” –Hartford Advocate

“Dick was…one of the genuine visionaries that North American fiction has produced in this century.”–Steve Erickson, L.A. Weekly

“If there’s such a thing as a ‘black science fiction,’ Philip K. Dick is its Pirandello, its Beckett and its Pinter.” –Harlan Ellison --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great overlooked PKD, Sep 18 2008

By	Jack "superduperalacapooper_man" (Toronto Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Penultimate Truth: A Novel (Paperback)

I'll keep this short, for people that want an honest opinion on this book. I thought it was great personally. Its not as famous as his other works, but all his themes are there, and there are some really great twists in this book. Its also more straightforward than his drug inspired books, by straightforward, I mean conventional sci/fi that isn't all over the place. Although, it IS PKD. It reminded me a lot of 1984 but even more futuristic. Some concepts are WAY out there, but really clever and believable and applicable to today if you have an open mind. Very entertaining read!

3.0 out of 5 stars Woolly Dick, Mar 19 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Penultimate Truth (Paperback)

Better-than-average Dick, wild and woolly, packed with too many ideas that never add up, but with enough originality to fuel 10 novels
