Publisher's Summary

On an arid Mars, local bigwigs compete with Earth-bound interlopers to buy up land before the Un develops it and its value skyrockets. Martian Union leader Arnie Kott has an ace up his sleeve, though: an autistic boy named Manfred who seems to have the ability to see the future. In the hopes of gaining an advantage on a Martian real estate deal, powerful people force Manfred to send them into the future, where they can learn about development plans. But is Manfred sending them to the real future or one colored by his own dark and paranoid filter? As the time travelers are drawn into Manfred's dark worldview in both the future and present, the cost of doing business may drive them all insane.

Critic Reviews

"The writing is humorous, painful, awesome in its effect on both mind and heart.... There are few modern novels to match it." ( Rolling Stone)

I’m a confirmed Dickhead

A solid PKD entry. Not my favourite PDK but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s someone else’s favourite PDK. Jeff Cummings is a great performer.

A first walk in the maze of Ubik

Many of the science fiction elements prefigure Ubik. The setting remind me of the TV series Deadwood

Classic

Love me some Dick ... Philip K. Dick that is.
Excellent book, quite a slog as always, the middle wasnt making much sense, but by the end of it and as always the thirst for more starts to burn, then as is all P.K.D books, it ends. Just like a dream.
