Gotta set this aside for a while. The story is fascinating, but the character is immensely heavy and depressing at this point in the book. I understand that this is realistic given the story's circumstances, but I need something a bit lighter for a while. I'll be back.

P.K. Dick has been so amply covered by Hollywood over the last couple of decades that it's hard to feel any sense of freshness from these stories. Nevertheless, all remain engrossing. His multi-layered neuroses are fascinating to watch unfold, and there's also an element of nostalgia in his settings. There's nothing like a little post-nuclear wasteland to make you think back fondly on the Cold War days.

More hits than misses so far. A really quirky, fun romp. I appreciate the editors trying to interject some fun dialog with each other between the stories, but it's actually the weakest part of the book at this point.
