Book Review/Podcast Now Wait for Last Year by Philip K. Dick

Now wait for Last Year By Philip K Dick

Paperback, 256 pages

Published October 2011 by Mariner Books (first published March 1966)

While I am going to save most of my hot takes for the podcast let me say this is a novel with lots of interesting and weird concepts. I think it suffers a bit from getting a final polish in the period of which PKD was separating from wife number four (?), not only does this inspire some painful misogyny in the form of shots fired at the institution of marriage. Worse is just that Phil's life was a mess at the time. I think this negatively affects this novel that does have some really cool elements.

Podcast recording soon.
