Featured in our reading guide: Where to Start with Philip K. Dick
Ragle Gumm lives in a peaceful 1950s town and wins a newspaper contest every single day. Then things start to glitch.
A soft-drink stand dissolves into a slip of paper that says SOFT-DRINK STAND. Gumm begins to suspect that his quiet small town was built around him, and that his daily puzzle is something much bigger.
This 1959 novel anticipated The Truman Show by decades.
