    About this audiobook

    "Dick skillfully explores the psychological ramifications of this nightmare." —The New York Times Review of Books

    Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said grapples with many of the themes Philip K. Dick is best known for—identity, altered reality, drug use, and dystopia—in a rollicking chase story that earned the novel the John W. Campbell Award and nominations for the Hugo and Nebula.

    Jason Taverner—world-famous talk show host and man-about-town—wakes up one day to find that no one knows who he is—including the vast databases of the totalitarian government. And in a society where lack of identification is a crime, Taverner has no choice but to go on the run with a host of shady characters, including crooked cops and dealers of alien drugs. But do they know more than they are letting on? And just how can a person’s identity be erased overnight?

    Philip K. Dick

    Over a writing career that spanned three decades, PHILIP K. DICK (1928–1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned to deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly, as well as television's The Man in the High Castle. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, including the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and between 2007 and 2009, the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.

    • 3/5
      I’ve recently read 6-7 PKD novels, and this has been my least favorite so far — despite the prescience of what a police state would look like. The story and the characters pale in comparison to later novels like Valis. But hey, if you’re bored, this will make you less bored. There are always interesting ideas in each of his books.
    • 5/5
      Keeps the listener engaged throughout a twisted SciFi mystery in the surreal universe of Jason T. , a world performer who lost his identity literally and must discover why.
    • 5/5
      Although i found the first several chapters grating, Jason being a first class asshole and Kathy the psycho generally unbearable I was very pleased with Jason’s development and the insights from the various characters towards the end of the book were highly satisfying.
    • 5/5
      My favorite by Philip K. Dick, I think because it is so moving.
    • 5/5
      What fine work comes from having a superlative writer take on the challenge of Sci Fi. PKD is on par with Vonnegut.
    • 4/5
      The story explodes into action from the beginning, then tangles itself into a seemingly irrelevant brain knot, only to be resurrected at the end into a superb closure. The epilog can comfortably be thrown away as adding zero value to the story.
