PKD was on a lot of speed; which can lead to certain premonitions, right or wrong.

Am on chapter three of audiobook, and finding plot is extremely complex, and maybe too convoluted; missed the ending here. Would someone tell me, thanks! 😊

Great review but hardly no spoilers lol

Psy's and anti-psy's reminds me of radar and radar detectors, or laptop viruses and virus checkers, or YT popups and pop-up blockers... representative of cold-war political escalation, but instead as a capitalist venture; perhaps a commentary of Capitalism itself.
