  <description><![CDATA[<strong>Time Out of Joint</strong> is Philip K. Dick&#8217;s classic depiction of the disorienting disparity between the world as we think it is and the world as it actually is. The year is 1998, although Ragle Gumm doesn&#8217;t know that. He thinks it&#8217;s 1959.

    <![CDATA[<strong>Time Out of Joint</strong> is Philip K. Dick&#8217;s classic depiction of the disorienting disparity between the world as we think it is and the world as it actually is. The year is 1998, although Ragle Gumm doesn&#8217;t know that. He thinks it&#8217;s 1959. He also thinks that he served in World War II, that he lives in a quiet little community, and that he really is the world&#8217;s long-standing champion of newspaper puzzle contests. It is only after a series of troubling hallucinations that he begins to suspect otherwise. And once he pursues his suspicions, he begins to see how he is the center of a universe gone terribly awry.]]>

    <![CDATA[This is a fast moving excursion into a fantasy world of the future. Ragle Gumm, 46, lived with his sister Margo &amp; his brother-in-law Vincent &amp; earned his living by consistently winning a daily newspaper contest labeled Where Will the Little Green Man Be Next? Ragle has moments when his world, recognizably 1959, disappears; he is left alone, seemingly thrust through a hole in the universe, &amp; in place of his surroundings he finds cryptic pieces of paper--one word messages. After an attempted escape, Ragle &amp; Vincent break thru the borders of the town, discover that the year is actually 1998 &amp; that for three years a civil war has been raging between the moon colonists--lunatics--&amp; earth isolationists. Ragle's heightened ability to discern patterns had been used to predict &amp; prepare for colonist missiles. When he became convinced that the colonists were right &amp; tried to join them he was brainwashed by the isolationists, regressed to scenes of his childhood &amp; continued his predictions, thru the contest, without ethical conflicts. His escape is deviously engineered &amp; the outcome of the war guarantees to be a compromise. Perching on the rim of the real &amp; the unreal, precariously vacillating, this effort is marred by some obvious, unexplained &amp; distracting inconsistencies.--Kirkus]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Time Out of Joint</strong> is Philip K. Dick&#8217;s classic depiction of the disorienting disparity between the world as we think it is and the world as it actually is. The year is 1998, although Ragle Gumm doesn&#8217;t know that. He thinks it&#8217;s 1959. He also thinks that he served in World War II, that he lives in a quiet little community, and that he really is the world&#8217;s long-standing champion of newspaper puzzle contests. It is only after a series of troubling hallucinations that he begins to suspect otherwise. And once he pursues his suspicions, he begins to see how he is the center of a universe gone terribly awry.]]>
