Description

Glen Runciter is dead.

Or is he

Someone died in the explosion orchestrated by his business rivals, but even as his funeral is scheduled, his mourning employees are receiving bewildering messages from their boss. And the world around them is warping and regressing in ways which suggest that their own time is running out.

If it hasn't already.

Reviews

One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac - SUNDAY TIMES

My literary hero - Fay Weldon

For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first - Terry Gilliam
