The Empire never ended.
- grakasja 2y agoA grand chick saved me!
- ysofunny 2y agoone mind there is. within it, two principles contend...
- Trasmatta 2y agoI can feel the plasmate stirring within me. Time for my yearly reread.
- hx8 2y agoI haven't thought about Valis in a long time, but I do generally tend to label various people/organizations as "The Empire". I didn't realize how much that book stuck with me.
- Trasmatta 2y agoI'd recommend a re-read! There's so many layers to that story that show themselves only on subsequent readings. Much like the layered flow of PKD the author, PKD the character, and Horselover Fat.
- alexey-salmin 2y agoCan you share what you like about it? I love most of pkd works but this one I just couldn't finish, simply because it's so boring. Chapter after chapter nothing happens. The only thing that stuck with me was that "cynicism is not a viable alternative to insanity" (not an exact quote), that's an interesting idea.
