- paradoxosalpha: Specifically the first, shorter edition. Avoid the posthumous reversion of the author's edits that created the inferior book released in the 1990s.

- paradoxosalpha: One of Dick's most head-on approaches to his metaphysical conundrums. Written with an eye to the screen, and the pacing and characterizations reflect that.

- Explications
- paradoxosalpha: Pace marycloseburn, there are no supernatural elements in this highly science-fictional alternate history. The metaphysical conceit that frames the story does not make it "fantasy."marycloseburn : Enjoyable, but alternate history with fantasy elements rather than science fiction.
