The Divine Invasion by Philip K. Dick
Paperback, 260 Pages
Mariner, 2011 first edition 1981
This novel is the second in the official VALIS trilogy, the third in the unofficial VALIS trilogy, and the last science fiction novel Phil wrote before his death in 1982. Written quickly during overnight sessions it could’ve been written in 1963 or 64 with the out-of-date SF-isms like Sythnwombs and dome colonies. At the time the themes of god, good, and evil are a little more standard than the other VALIS books and has a bit more of the PKD humor and paranoia stuff.
Full thoughts coming in May 2023 when we record Dickheads podcast episode. I will link here when available.
