Title
Martian Time-Slip - Paperback
by Philip K. Dick (Author)
Combining political intrigue, time travel, family drama, and all the perils that come with being the first at anything, Hugo Award-winning author Philip K. Dick's Martian Time-Slip follows a group of exiled colonists on Mars and the ten-year-old psychic among them--a boy whose altered perception of reality is so powerful he not only looks into the future, but can send people there.
"The writing is humorous, painful, awesome in its effect on both mind and heart . . . There are few modern novels to match it."--Rolling Stone
On a dystopian Mars, local bigwigs compete with Earth-bound interlopers to buy up land before the UN develops it and its value skyrockets. Martian Union leader Arnie Kott has an ace up his sleeve, though: an autistic boy named Manfred who seems to have the ability to see the future. In the hopes of gaining an advantage on a Martian real estate deal, powerful people force Manfred to send them into the future, where they can learn about development plans.
But is Manfred's strange precognition sending them to the real future or one colored by his own dark and paranoid filter? As the time travelers are drawn into Manfred's dark worldview in both the future and present, the cost of doing business may drive them all insane.
This landmark novel explores the hazy frontiers of the mind--where the future is a weapon and reality is always in question.
- Psychological Science Fiction: Follow ex-schizophrenic repairman Jack Bohlen as he grapples with his own past and a present where a young boy's disturbed mind can rewrite the future.
- A Foundational Sci-Fi Classic: Discover the masterful world-building and philosophical depth that made Philip K. Dick a legend, exploring timeless questions of mental illness, time, and human greed.
- Unforgettable Time Travel: Journey to a future shaped not by a machine, but by the dark, paranoid, and perhaps prophetic visions of an autistic child.
- Corporate Greed on a New Frontier: Witness the desperate power plays of corrupt union boss Arnie Kott, who will stop at nothing to exploit a vulnerable boy for a Martian real estate scheme.
