Excellent review Tessa. I totally agree. Unfortunately there will be thousands of Philip K.Dick fans drawn to the work by its title alone. Once they read it though they will realise that there is no content. It is simply 'gubble, gubble' which reduces rather than adds to the great canon of PKD enquiry.
Your review nails it perfectly. My feelings were that this was someone using PKD as a 'brand' to launch their own career. I thought it shallow and infantile - not a work of serious merit.
