Dr. Bloodmoney (P. K. Dick)

At first this novel has a different feel from other PKD novels. The intertwined stories of nuclear war survivors build into a crescendo of competition for power. I don't feel it truly coalesced, but it could be simply the many bizarre elements that clash together. Radio programs from space, internal conjoined twins, and omnipotent cyborg cripples. Yeah.

Really loved they way the characters simply coped with what ever happened. Feels so realistic, life just carries on. There was no great conclusion or lesson just an interesting series of events with normal-ish people.

This short novel is Philip K. Dick's take on the post apocalyptic dystopian society. It is filled with his typical mixture of humor and pathos. As is typical of Dick's books, Dr. Bloodmoney is an easy to read story that flows quite nicely and ends up in a place that you probably didn't quite expect.

The weirdest storyline that can maintain itself. Only pk dick can pull this shit off
