About this listen
In Counter-Clock World, time has begun moving backward. People greet each other with "goodbye", blow smoke into cigarettes, and rise from the dead. When one of those rising dead is the famous and powerful prophet Anarch Peak, a number of groups start a mad scramble to find him first - but their motives are not exactly benevolent, because Anarch Peak may just be worth more dead than alive, and these groups will do whatever they must to send him back to the grave.
What would you do if your long-dead relatives started coming back? Who would take care of them? And what if they preferred being dead? In Counter-Clock World, one of Dick’s most theological and philosophical novels, these troubling questions are addressed; though, as always, you may have to figure out the answers yourself.

Dick's love of metaphysics shows again
Any additional comments?
I love the premise of a backward flowing of processes that leaves the sense of free will intact. Does this reflect the view that free will is an illusion? Or, does this reflect the view that the mind has access to a timeless world of forms? The author hints at the second. I like the first.
