Good, solid writing. Great book about mental illnesses, marriage, politics and so much else. As with some other PKD novels, for example The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, there's a lot of minor details of the story that, while being highly interesting, only get at most a cursory glance, like how the hospital broke down, the psychics of the world or even the Alphanes.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that I want a 700 pages long PKD science fiction novel that just keeps on going and never stops. His worldbuilding is just brilliant.

Also, this edition contains a lot of goddamn typos, but yeah, it's readable.
