Some stories were really great, others were a real slog to get through. Some of it has not aged well, but for the most part the prose are unique and interesting. The stories I enjoyed most were "The Indigo Engineers", "The Green Dress", "Xray-Visions" and the stories about Bootwoman Marissa.

It was alright I guess...most of it seemed like common sense, especially if you design or build things for a living.

An interesting collection of writings by one of the art/music world's most eccentric minds. At times, equally hilarious and introspective, he goes on long-form rambles about modern life, nationalism, art buying, pop music and disillusionment. Some of the stories go a bit off the rails and had me skimming the pages, but I really enjoy his ability to take some of life's most mundane moments and reframe them in an absurdist context.

Definitely a unique read.... not sure if I liked it more than Valis or not, they are similar in some regards, but also very different. PKD is definitely far out with this plot that combines elements of almost every major religion and philosophy. The last half is very abstract (like most of his books) and comes off the rails a bit towards the end, but all in all its a very dense and fairly entertaining read.
Pretty good...a mixture of different left-over bits from the man's mind. Nothing particularly illuminating/ground-breaking, but RAW's intellectual sense of humor and wit is alive and well on each page.
Imagine that every human who ever lived, from the earliest Neanderthals to the present, is …
Interesting premise....the book starts out really strong, with all of humanity being resurrected on a mysterious river planet, but the story quickly seems to come off the rails. The plot begins to sag during the middle of the book, but some interesting things begin to happen towards the end that makes it a worthwhile read. If you enjoy sci-fi and/or history, then I'm sure you will enjoy it.
