3 stars, because i liked it.

A rather disjointed novel with plots that dont quite connect. Both stories, the Jones revolution, and hte mutants are good enough to be their own separate stories. in this book, they're introduced in detail, the mutant plot is completely absent, only to be smashed together in the end. They connect mostly loosely.

Lots of Dick staples here - perception, reality, psionic, characters that arent well developed.

Theres a bit of throwaway civic life in the middle of the book that ultimately doesnt add - feels like a
a scrapped short story.
