This paper was extremely interesting to me, and going down your previous blog posts, I can see that I've finally met someone whose knowledge of PKD far exceeds my own. I was wondering if you could discuss Now Wait For Last Year. This is a PKD that I feel is extremely underrated, not considered by general SF fanatics and PKD fans to be up there in the ranks of Androids, High Castle, UBIK, VALIS, Three Stigmata, or Scanner Darkly. In my opinion, it's better than Three Stigmata and Scanner Darkly, and possibly UBIK. I feel that it doesn't get enough attention as a legitimate PKD masterpiece.

Take the macrometasomakosmos, for instance. Once you break the macro meta soma kosmos apart, it actually makes sense! <br /><br />John's remarks are very well considered and I applaud posting them for all PKDers to enjoy. Thanks to both of you!ZenWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785982974275423144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-74098794590163322622010-08-28T16:05:19.939-07:002010-08-28T16:05:19.939-07:00Nice start.
