/lit/ - Literature

PKD is a weird author, his stories always start out well formed, coherent, slick like Hollywood film (i.e., Memento, Fight Club) but then degrade into this weird sort of near-hysterical break from reality where everything--the character's relationships, the main character's mental resolve, the plot itself--come under great strain and become a sort of twisted dream-meets-reality sort of thing. Ones specifically following this pattern: Minority Report, Flow My Tears the Policeman Said, to some extent A Scanner Darkly as well. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's underlying brilliance or just laziness that's to blame for this (I read someone PKD only wrote SF to try and break into the literary fiction scene).

Anyway. Good shit, read it OP. It'll, at worst, be entertaining.
