SUMMARY: >On October 11 the television star Jason Taverner is so famous that 30 million viewers eagerly watch his prime-time show. On October 12 Jason Taverner is not a has-been but a never-was — a man who has lost not only his audience but all proof of his existence. And in the claustrophobic betrayal state of Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, loss of proof is synonyms with loss of life.Taverner races to solve the riddle of his disappearance", immerses us in a horribly plausible Philip K. Dick United States in which everyone — from a waiflike forger of identity cards to a surgically altered pleasure — informs on everyone else, a world in which omniscient police have something to hide. His bleakly beautiful novel bores into the deepest bedrock self and plants a stick of dynamite at its center.

    The book is awesome! As always, Philip K Dick created a fantastic world where you want to be lost for hours and when you come back you are no longer the same. (Read it in Ukrainian, which was a minor challenge since I do not speak the language, but also opened new perspectives)

Quotes

  • Vasily Betinhas quoted7 years ago
    a thing is there it can’t be here. Just as in time if an event comes before, it can’t also come after.
  • Vasily Betinhas quoted7 years ago
    don’t see what all your exposure and fame have done for you—back at the coffee shop you said to me, ‘Is my record really on that jukebox?’ You were afraid it wasn’t; you were a lot more insecure than I’ll ever be.”
  • Vasily Betinhas quoted7 years ago
    Does everything have to be on a great scale with a cast of thousands?
