REVIEWS

“Classic science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick became a legendary writer because of visionary ideas that broke genre boundaries and offered fresh new stories of bleak and harrowing futures. This story is the one that put him on the map....Tom Weiner delivers a classic performance that captures the Orwellian atmosphere that abounds in this tale while giving a nod to radio announcers from the 1940s....his characters are incredibly rich and perfectly realized. One of the best and most complex readings this year!”—AudioFile

“Philip K. Dick’s best books always describe a future that is both entirely recognizable and utterly unimaginable.’—New York Times Book Review

“Philip K. Dick...has chosen to handle...material too nutty to accept, too admonitory to forget, too haunting to abandon.”—Washington Post

Tom Weiner reveals an impressive vocal range that delivers the host of characters with distinct culture, class and gender personas, which helps to sort the various plot strands. His prose reading is engaging....”—Publishers Weekly
