false 216361 10 Floyd Jones is sullen, ungainly, and quite possibly mad, but in a very short time he will rise from telling fortunes at a mutant carnival to convulsing an entire planet. For although Jones has the power to see the future--a power that makes his life a torment--his real gift lies elsewhere: in his ability to make people dream again in a world where dreaming has been made illegal, even when the dream is indistinguishable from a nightmare. In Philip K. Dick's unsettling chronicle of the rise and fall of a postnuclear messiah, readers will find a novel that is as minutely realistic as it is prophetic.

Jones can see one year into the future, bringing up the question of free will. He even sees his own death, and helps it to happen. So what is time? Are the future events molded by the current ones, or are we moving blindly through a line of inevitable events?
