Publisher Description
It began with a blinding light, a divine revelation from a mysterious intelligence that called itself VALIS (Vast Active Living Intelligence System). And with that, the fabric of reality was torn apart and laid bare so that anything seemed possible, but nothing seemed quite right.
It was madness, pure and simple. But what if it were true?
Customer Reviews
A Sci Fi exploration of religious creation
This book will make you question your own reality as it did to the author who had a bit of a mental breakdown at the time of writing. The key messages are that no one is going to magically come and save you, you have to save yourself. Instead of worshipping deities we should worship each other with mutual respect.
VALIS validates PKD
I chose this (the first novel of his I've read) as it's just prior to the cinema release of Blade Runner 2049. I'm glad I did - it's a great book (an A.I. voice in my head, possibly Wintermute from Neuromancer, tells me the the film won't be as good as the originals)
