A Doctor in our near future has his car thrown off the road by an unknown force as he is travelling highway 101 towards San Francisco. He awakens from the crash in the future but geographically in the same place. He is picked up on the highway after nearly being killed by a very young driver who thought he wanted to be killed ... and continues on to San Francisco. It is a strange future populated by young people who speak a language he can barely decipher. This is a Logan's Run sort of future where you die young but it really gets crazy with a time travel battle with a group trying to negate the other's past. The Doctor has been called to save a leader of one group. There is some interesting stuff amidst the weirdness of a Philip K Dick novel. This is a short lesser celebrated novel that I imagine most PKD fans will get a kick out of. Typical of Dick, there are a lot of things to think about here. Parts of this novel are very good, and parts just so-so. The end was full of surprises. Definitely worth the read for me. ( ) no reviews | add a review
