Grappling with many of the themes Philip K. Dick is best known for, identity, altered reality, drug use, and dystopias, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said is both a rollicking chase story and a meditation on reality. Jason Taverner, talk show host and man-about-town, wakes one day to find that no one knows who he is. In a society where lack of identification is a crime, Taverner must evade the secret police while trying to unravel the mystery of why no one remembers him.
Annotation
Stunningly plausible in its portrayal of a neo-fascist America, where everyone informs on everyone else, this Orwellian novel bores deeply into the bedrock of the self--and plants dynamite at its center. Fifty or a hundred years from now, (Dick's) world will stand alone on its own terms.--Norman Spinrad.
