Jason Taverner Show, every night on NBC

Following the Second Civil War, a dune iron hand control police state the US. Students are holed up in underground and somehow struggling for survival, hounded by police and threatened at any time BE sent to forced labor camps sils can not justify dune valid ID. Other joyousness unique denfant policy was imposed on blacks to halve their population every generation to dendiguer crime.
Among the friendly innovations: the widespread video conference, 4D pictures that speak, and flying vehicles (quibbles).

Jason Taverner is a singer and successful television presenter. 30 million fans, women running after him, he spends his evenings in Switzerland (the go back is fast!), It does not have to do especially as sen, chic chic, it is part of the Six, the group dhumains genetically improved. Despite his 42 years, he radiates strength, youth and magnetism.

One of his mistresses to whom he won a hearing in exchange for sexual favors convene the emergency. This is a trap, it lagresse to the help of a living organism tentacles penetrating his body and made him close to death. But whew, he is saved.

Yet when it wakes up, it is in a seedy hotel, and no one knows its existence. Neither his agents, or his girlfriend, he does not exist and never existed seems navoir.
Location not very encouraging in itself, but which here is all the more complicated that it may BE forcibly sent to a camp sil faces a police control, whose probability is certain.

He immediately takes a little more aware of the reality of the world in which he lives, in my opinion it does not hurt him, dautant the character is pretty despicable in his arrogance, his racism and his conceit. His only choice quon makes him false documents didentité time that his situation séclaircisse.

These are the beginnings Book: then sensuivent meetings with a gallery of characters each more twisted and torn, for various reasons, than each other. A dive in a sick society that jusqualors it was largely foreign.

While that he struggles to be recognized, police sintéresse him, suspecting him to have voluntarily as part of a conspiracy in which the institution does not include the ins or outs, erased all traces of its existence. This would be a feat because obviously the data of each living individual is digitized and stored on servers, and even saved on remote planets (Google and Facebook should consider it).

Reading this novel is rather exciting. Dick has a real talent for making his characters exist and a sense of remarkable dialogue. Obviously this kind of subject inevitably leads the reader to ask big questions about the identity, reality, celebrity, but the book is a science fiction novel, not a philosophical treatise.
Of course, at some point the drugs involved, the trip dailleurs Taverner to mescaline (really?) Is a great time of the book.

Alas, the author takes in my opinion a little foot in it at the end, firstly with an attempt dexplication which one might have happened, and above all a rather silly epilogue.

All in all the construction is rather strange, we do not necessarily feel great control but curiosity and the pleasure of reading taking over. Some pages are pretty hilarious or striking. Considerations of love alongside slightly salacious stuff, at least it is not formatted the literature, it is a little underground, rocknroll, cool and beat up.

The end is really disappointing and even sloppy but do not waste too the path to achieve it.

I read this book in the original version (Flow My Tears, The Policeman Says), this is quite easy once quon integrated the presence of words that do not exist in the future in the English vocabulary.
