Now Wait for Last Year Audiobook

" Mediocre Dick. "

" In the tradition of Philip K. Dick's relentless quest to explore the nature of reality, "Now Wait For Last Year" more specifically explores the notion of time, utilizing a clever political angle to drive this exploration forward. Its an intriguing book that touches on war, peace, politics, marital problems, the effects of drugs, drug addiction, and the purpose of one's role in the world when everything seems to be collapsing. If it sounds like alot, it is. But PKD is so good at pulling all his ideas together, as he seemingly always does. I found this book to be more depressing than the other ones I've read of his, only because its messages rung very true both to me personally and with regards to the state of the world. Another very solid book by one of America's great philosophers. "

" Immortality is only possible within one lifespan. "

" I like the guy who sets free the little robots. "

" really nice, although the leakage into the story of a lot of his real-life marital angst was rather depressing "

" What a cool title. What a cool book. "

" Like any good Philip K Dick novel, it lives in a strange but nearly similar world to hours, just 100 years hence. Very interesting read dealing with different aspects of being human and the relationships we have with each other using the slight twists "what ifs" that come with his novels. "

" Not the best PKD I've ever read. The concepts were interesting, but the storyline was hard to follow, and the characters' actions were sometimes unrealistic. "

" This may be my favorite PKD book I've read thus far. It has the same logic twist towards the end, but unlike the other formats this one is better at the beginning. The end is sort of anticlimatic. This still rules it, though. "

" This is definitely one of the 2-3 best books by Philip Dick. "

" Absolute favorite PKD. Experimental drugs, lucid (non physical) time travel, mental institutions, ahhh greatness. I would give a more thorough review, but its been a few years since Ive read it + someone perma-borrowed my copy "

" It was an ok book. The story was not as engaging as Dick is famous and known for. "

" Interplanetary war involving humanity and two species of aliens, one bug-like, the other an ancestor of the human race. A planetary dictator who stands between humanity and utter ruin. The dictator's physician and his drug-addicted, time-traveling wife. A collapsing marriage. "

" Very good book. I will try to find time to write a more complete review in the next few days. "

" another great book from p.k.d...had my head spinning, especially the last 50 pages or so! "

" I like this one just fine. "

" Creates funny sci-fi like a geek, dissects characters like a socialite, experiments like a beatnik, and writes just wonderfully: I can't understand why somebody wouldn't like Philip K. Dick. And all of it is here, evidenced in many conversations with driverless cabs. "

" a good sci-fi read. The novel is very phildickian, but not one of his best efforts in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this as your first 3 PKD reads, there are better choices. "

" Loved it! Delightfully ridiculous as usual, full of horrible people fighting a pointless war. It's the little things that make it so funny, like the "sentient nipples". Fashion statement of the year! "

" Slow to get started but takes off in the end. Dick really feared and loathed drugs. "

" What use to change time? Make good of what you have. "

" Another great Philip K. Dick book. Classic mind-warping sci-fi at its best. "

" Interplanetary war involving humanity and two species of aliens, one bug-like, the other an ancestor of the human race. A planetary dictator who stands between humanity and utter ruin. The dictator's physician and his drug-addicted, time-traveling wife. A collapsing marriage. "

" Perfect evocation of loosing perspective in emerging events and time. "

" Written for pennies by Kilgore Trout's strung out cousin. He gets even deeper into his addiction, here. "

" This is definitely one of the 2-3 best books by Philip Dick. "

" Several misdirections (or dead ends/unexplored ideas). I realize more & more that PKD was just writing and rewriting the same story throughout much of the sixties. Again, the lead female is a total shrew. "

" really nice, although the leakage into the story of a lot of his real-life marital angst was rather depressing "
