Read in October, 2011

So, I kind of feel like I'm cheating 'cause this is not long enough to be a book at all. It's a short story -it lasts about half an hour in the audio book version, which is what I audio-read- but well, this is what it is.

I enjoyed the story well enough. The main character is not a douche bag for once, which is kind of surprising as all of PKD's characters I've read so far are kind of assholes, and the twists of the story are pretty fun. The idea of having memories of experiences you can't afford implanted in your brain, so you feel like you had them, is pretty cool. I really like PKD's ideas most of the time, and he's always toying with just how real reality is, how subjective it is, how much it hangs on perception. Haven't seen the movie so I can't compare, but the story is pretty good on it's own.
