Fremont (FFF for Number of the Beast 666) becomes president in an alternate 60s. Amalgamating Joe McCarthy & Dick Nixon, he abrogates civil liberties & human rights by positing a conspiracy centred on a fictitious subversive organisation, Aramchek. Tho associated with a rightist movement, "Friends of the American People" (Fappers), character Sadassa Silvia claims he's actually a covert Soviet agent recruited by her mother. Fremont's paranoid opportunism leads to the establishment of a real resistance movement organised thru eponymous radio broadcasts from an alien satellite, by a superintelligent omnipotent being or network, VALIS.
The novel is autobiographical. Dick is a major character, tho protagonist Nicholas Brady serves as vehicle for his 2/11/74 gnostic theophany. Like VALIS, Radio Free Albemuth deals with his highly personal Xian Gnosticism, with morality of being an informer & with his dislike of the Republicans, satirizing Nixon's USA as a neofascist state.]]> 1985 3 0 false Fri Jul 24 13:09:29 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 07:57:25 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 13:09:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 50809196 1295851 226475 0679781374 9780679781370 41 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172871052m/226475.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172871052s/226475.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/226475.Radio_Free_Albemuth 3.74 896 Ferris F.
