PKD at his loopy best: starts out as a spirituality-based thriller (what if Christ were secretly reborn in a dystopian future?), but by the book's midpoint the entire universe has become queasy and unhinged as the novel's theological forces grapple and debate. Messier than "Valis," and with more "wtf?" moments, but a worthy follow-up nevertheless. ( )

Perhaps someone will disagree, but I found this to be simply too weird and disjointed to enjoy. I think this happened to Dick novels after a while, unfortunately. ( )

The Divine Invasion

Book description

Amazon.com Download Description (ISBN 0671443437, Paperback)

In The Divine Invasion, Philip K. Dick asks: What if God—or a being called Yah—were alive and in exile on a distant planet? How could a second coming succeed against the high technology and finely tuned rationalized evil of the modern police state? The Divine Invasion “blends Judaism, Kabalah, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity into a fascinating fable of human existence” (West Coast Revew of Books).
