A note for parents
This is a complex philosophical science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick that explores reality, identity, and religious themes through a narrative involving hallucinogenic drugs.

The multiple overlapping realities and philosophical ambiguity make it better suited for older teens and adults than younger readers.
