About this listen
On an arid Mars, local bigwigs compete with Earth-bound interlopers to buy up land before the Un develops it and its value skyrockets. Martian Union leader Arnie Kott has an ace up his sleeve, though: an autistic boy named Manfred who seems to have the ability to see the future. In the hopes of gaining an advantage on a Martian real estate deal, powerful people force Manfred to send them into the future, where they can learn about development plans. But is Manfred sending them to the real future or one colored by his own dark and paranoid filter? As the time travelers are drawn into Manfred's dark worldview in both the future and present, the cost of doing business may drive them all insane.

Oh so dated
I usually like, no, love PKD stories, but this one made me shake my head so many times. I admit to being pretty disappointed. I have loved nearly everything I’ve read by PKD, but not this one. I find it unbelievably dated. Especially when it concerned mental health or what we now call neurodiversity and even racism and cultural bias. And why didn’t any SF writers from the 50s and 60s anticipate digital?!? I don’t normally fault authors for that, because it’s so widespread.
I didn’t hate it, mind you. There’s other stuff to appreciate that almost redeem the novel. how Jack and Sylvia find their way back to one another and the Bleekmen’s role.

it makes no sense and it is ignorant and racist
they call time displacement skitsofrenia, a psychological disorder and lump all psychological issues as one. they call natives on mars niggers. they ostracize natives as well as people with any psychological disorders and exclude them from society.
the story also fucks with time travel in the stupidest of ways.
it reflects a very old time where women are treated as objects and there are very strict gender roles. thankfully no rape or violation of consent.
lots of sex though...
i waited till the end for it to make sense but it did not... it cannot. they got the basics wrong. terrible book, good narration.
