Podcast Book Review: The Simulacra by Philip K. Dick

The Simulacra by Philip K. Dick

Paperback, 214 pages

Published May 14th 2002 by Random House Vintage Books (first published 1964)

Yeah, so we have A Russian telekinetic piano player, time travel, Robot presidents and actresses cast in the role of the ultra-powerful First lady, hyper packed apartment buildings with class-organized populations and a Jug-band with a Martian pet with the power of suggestion. Oh, don't for the dudes build and Martian shuttle Jalopies and a political revolution.

Our episode of Dickheads podcast about it...We were lucky enough to have author Cody Goodfellow stop by and give his thoughts on this wacky post-apocalyptic book with a whopping 56 named characters. This one is packed with highbrow humor along with all the regular Dickian elements. Plus: Dick's Divorcepedia. The Japanese Linda Ronstadt. And I finally hate some things (fortunately none of them is this novel.)
