Here is the most surrealist novel from Dick, where characters behavior is so strange than we feel lost between ages and reality/unreality. The story stands in the near futur (1992 at the writing time), where we see themes that surfaced later in the Minority Report novel. The writing exercice is well done (whereas the style is less fluent than Silverberg's), then this book is a must have, no danger here if read carrefully ! :)

As usual Robert Silverberg delivers with this novel a stunning mastered style (and original), where he describes the strange behaviour of "poor Tom", the hero that presents himself as fool. It leads to very funny dialogues. The theme is collective deviations, ie sectes. Interest here resides more in the inducted reflexions than in the avaited responses.
