I remember the novel making quite an impression on me when it was first published in 1964. It deals with what were recurring themes in Philip K. Dick's works: the nature of reality and what is genuine versus fake. The latter was a foundation of his story "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" which was the basis for Ridley Scott's 1982 film Blade Runner.

These thematic types often lend themselves to more questions than answers and as a result their conclusions may be less than satisfying.

Dick's works... - musetap 10:58:50 01/02/16 (0)
are more about the journey than the the destination.

The phrase most associated with his (better) works is: Nothing is as it seems.

His paranoia and talent ran deep.

The MITHC series is a fine adaptation of the book and presents the story in
a "realistic" presentation with great acting and top notch production values.

AND... it leaves you thinking.
