This book is a semi-autobiographical look at PKS's struggles with mental illness. The narrator, like the author, attempts (and seemingly fails) to see his delusions for what they are, instead becoming increasingly lost in a complex and bizarre theosophy of his own creation. I was not prepared for how sad this book was. PKD can be pretty inconsistent, but the writing here is a cut above a lot of his work. Also, as a music fan - David Bowie and Brian Eno are both characters in this book (though I'm not sure they would be thrilled at how they are portrayed)!
