Dick’s famous novel begins… weird. And the weirdness continues. Dick orients his readers to a world in which fallout is everywhere, most animals have died, many humans have left Earth for colony planets,  and androids (or andys) do much of the manual labor. The UMBs are both blown away by Dick’s imagination, but wonder if some of the books mechanics are too clunky.
