Beschreibung
In the overcrowded world and cramped space colonies of the late 21st century, tedium can be endured through the drug Can-D, which enables users to inhabit a shared illusory world. When industrialist Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new drug, Chew-Z. It is far more potent than Can-D, but threatens to plunge the world into a permanent state of drugged illusion controlled by the mysterious Eldritch.

Wow....No.This was a chore to get through. Right from the start we're bombarded with sexism after sexism and objectification of women. The characters all feel cartoony and they act on whims. I continued reading just because the idea was interesting and I was hoping Philip K. Dick would actually do something with it.I understand that this could have been groundbreaking for its time, because the idea is out there. But it gets ruined by the characters and a plot that feels like pure stream of consciousness.Not for me.
