Not quite on a par with Dick's masterpieces, this is still a fascinating study in psychological horror, the flimsy premise of which involves tourists falling into the proton beam of a “bevatron”. As usual, the “science” is not the point. I would recommend people start with Man in the High Castle, Ubik and Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, but this, along with Penultimate Truth and Now Wait For Last Year and A Scanner Darkly, constitute core work.
