... because there's off the charts talent on show here!
This is one of my favourite PKDs. I’ve read it at least four times and I doubt I’ll ever tire of it. The characters are fantastically relatable, the plot structure is superb, and the depiction of crumbling psyches is profoundly effective. Touching, funny, intriguing, enigmatic, and brilliantly written, this is irrefutably the work of a genius.
From the publisher
On the arid colony of Mars the only thing more precious than water may be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. For although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, other people—especially Supreme Goodmember Arnie Kott of the Water Worker's union—suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. In Martian Time-Slip Philip K. Dick uses power politics and extraterrestrial real estate scams, adultery, and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and time.

Dick Award-winning novel THE STRANGE AFFAIR OF SPRING HEELED JACK and its sequels, and of the first officially sanctioned Sexton Blake novel to have been published in nearly half a century (he created and maintains BLAKIANA: The Sexton Blake Resource).
