Product Description:
Stunningly plausible in its portrayal of a neo-fascist America, where everyone informs on everyone else, this Orwellian novel bores deeply into the bedrock of the self--and plants dynamite at its center. "Fifty or a hundred years from now, (Dick's) world will stand alone on its own terms."--Norman Spinrad.

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - Philip K. Dick's Police State of 1988 Rings Eerily True Today Aside from numerous technological inventions, Philip K. Dick has accurately predicted a multitude of trends in society, the natural environment and the government. Some of these trends have already come to pass and some may still yet be. His vision in 1974, when Flow My Tears was written, of the police-state that would emerge in 1988 America was essentially only a decade off. What many regarded as PKD's paranoia at the time is actually only inaccurate by the degree to which the U.S. has sacrificed personal freedoms. Flow My Tears the Policeman Said, like many of Dick's greatest works, rings eerily true today under W.'s "Reign of Error," with government wiretapping, citizen databases, legalized torture, labor camps etc. being the reality. 1988 society, like today, are obsessed with famous people's cult of personality. Main protagonist Jason Taverner is an internationally famous television star beloved by millions who wakes up one day to find that he has lost more than his fame. He technically no longer exists, with friends and lovers no longer knowing him, being bereft of all forms of personal identification necessary to function in 1988's police state. But being a "six," from a government program where a group of genetically modified, intelligent and beautiful human beings were created, Taverner is able to find ways of surviving in the dark underbelly of society. Here he encounters a wide variety of unsavory yet memorable characters. All the while hampering Jason's progress in regaining his identity is Police General Felix Buckman, one of PKD's most compelling and complex villains. An entirely plausible vision of what life in the United States might be like if we continue to go down the current path and excellently written, multifaceted characters are just a few reasons to pick-up this book. Other terrifying ideas PKD raises are genocide or forced sterilization of African Americans, continued social stratification, with the gap gaping ever wider between the haves and have nots, and the ability of future illegal drugs to actually alter reality. Without ruining the conclusion of Flow My Tears, I will say that I feel that Philip K. Dick does not adequately tie-up all lose ends. However, the vast majority of the book is PKD at his best, among my top 3 favorite of his works, and very much deserving of having won several awards. It also clearly influenced darker scenes of other PKD adapted movies such as Minority Report and Bladerunner; Roy from Bladerunner references Buckman, while underworld scenes in Minority Report such as the black market doctor who swops out Tom Cruise's eyes are reminiscent of Flow My Tears the Policeman Said. + See Full Customer Review
