Publisher Description
Winner of the John W. Campbell Award and a Hugo and Nebula award nominee, Philip K. Dick's Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said is a rollicking chase story that combines altered reality, genetic enhancement, and drug use into a dystopian setting to create one of the most popular and enduring science fiction novels.
"Dick skillfully explores the psychological ramifications of this nightmare."—New York Times Review of Books
Jason Taverner—world-famous talk show host and man-about-town—wakes up one day to find that no one knows who he is—including the vast databases of the totalitarian government. And in a society where lack of identification is a crime, Taverner has no choice but to go on the run with a host of shady characters, including crooked cops and dealers of alien drugs. But do they know more than they are letting on? And just how can a person’s identity be erased overnight?
Customer Reviews
Not his best
I like PKD, but not his best in my humble opinion. The main character is not likable, being both sexist and racist. The genetic component was never explored to its full potential, and the reality alteration made no sense. Warning- the sex was perverse. The long conversations about grief and depression seemed unrealistic. I guess it gave a scary depiction of what could have happened if the 1960s had played out into its worst forms. And described the fear of what drugs could do to someone.
