Counter-Clock World
Counter-Clock World | Philip K. Dick
2 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Dick is the American writer who in recent years has most influenced non-American poets, novelists, and essayists.Roberto Bolao In Counter-Clock World, time has begun moving backward. People greet each other with goodbye, blow smoke into cigarettes, and rise from the dead. When one of those rising dead is the famous and powerful prophet Anarch Peak, a number of groups start a mad scramble to find him firstbut their motives are not exactly benevolent because Anarch Peak may just be worth more dead than alive, and these groups will do whatever they must to send him back to the grave. What would you do if your long-dead relatives started coming back? Who would take care of them? And what if they preferred being dead? In Counter-Clock World, one of Dicks most theological and philosophical novels, these troubling questions are addressed; though, as always, you may have to figure out the answers yourself.

Mehso-so

So, for those who don‘t know, I LUV Dick! 😆 That being said, this was not one of his finest outings. The premise was intriguing but was ultimately handled very stupidly. However, this is definitely one of his most explicitly philosophical/theological works; lots of musings on time, life & death, and religion. All you really need to know though is that in this book people eat with their asses and defecate with their mouths.

RamsFan1963 I wonder if the creators of South Park read this book, because they did an episode where Cartman did the same reverse eating and started a craze. 3y
TH3F4LC0N Lol, maybe so! 😅 3y
vivastory PKD was so prolific he seemed bound to publish a dud or two. I've only read a handful but have loved those that I have read 3y
TH3F4LC0N The Man in the High Castle is one of my 10 favorite books! I usually love Dick‘s stuff, and this had its moments, bu t overall it was too absurd. 3y
