The Transmigration of Timothy Archer
★★★★★Read Jan 1, 1994
One of the better PK Dick novels I've read, lovely Gnosticism, half-crazy intelligent men, 70s sexual politics, etc. This novel is a bit edgier than most, I think because the backdrop of the story seems so normal but the psychology going on underneath is pretty creepy. It was nice to see Dick write female characters well, usually they're just furniture for him.
