Dick morphed and recombined themes that had informed his fiction from <i>A Scanner Darkly</i> to <i>VALIS</i> and produced a wild, impassioned work that reads like a visionary alternate history of the United States. Agonizingly suspenseful, darkly hilarious, and filled with enough conspiracy theories to thrill the most hardened paranoid, <b>Radio Free Albemuth</b> is proof of Dick's stature as our century's greatest science fiction writer. 762914 1985 Radio Free Albemuth total:885|5:215|4:318|3:269|2:72|1:11| 885 3309 1156 45 226475 0679781374 9780679781370 855 41 3.74 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172871052m/226475.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/226475.Radio_Free_Albemuth 3 1 false Wed Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 16:49:21 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 04:09:36 -0700 2008 weirder, per se, but it was weird in a way I wasn't expecting from Dick -- its paranoid alternative reality dystopia (expected) meets New-Age Christianity (not expected).
