So was he a religious prophet, schizo patient, victim of Soviet microwave weapons, or did he just not have the words to describe what he experienced?

Too many bennies > burnt brains > psychotic episode. That's all there is to it.

Great ideas guy, sure - but out of the whopping 44 novels he wrote, maybe 3-4 are o.k. (passable), and only 1 is actually *good* (Scanner Darkly). Almost every other book of his is the same rambling WHOA DUDE REALITY BUT TOO MUCH stuff, it just gets old super fast if you aren't a drug addict with burnt brains yourself, and his subpar prose doesn't help at all.
