This is excellent so far.

This is such a strange and delightful book. It was the last thing he wrote and it was published after his death in 1982. It does feel - and perhaps I'm putting this on it with hindsight - like a man downloading all his thoughts on the meaning of life. Apparently it is loosely part of a trilogy with VALIS and The Divine Invasion.

I haven't read a Philip K Dick novel for ages. I think this was the last novel he wrote before he died and it is quite something. I'm not sure what that something is but it seems to be a man wrestling with the ideas of God through the medium of a novel. Like he's dumping all his reading and thinking into this book and trying to reach some conclusion.
