A review by arkron
The World Jones Made by Philip K. Dick
3.0
Dystopia set on Earth in 2002. Easy read, lots of ideas - transhumanism with precognition, relativism, mobility, public drug and sex consumption, hermaphroditic sex, mutants ready for Venus, Venusian environment, alien blobs. Also references to Hitler and Mengele, no wonder 10 years after WWII. On the negative side lots of sloppiness quite typical for PKD, missing protagonist motivations, unbelievable biological models.
I wouldn't consider it as one of his better works, maybe only for completionists who want to read an early PKD with less formed style but same intensity.
