Summary
"Dick skillfully explores the psychological ramifications of this nightmare." - The New York Times Review of Books
Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said grapples with many of the themes Philip K. Dick is best known for - identity, altered reality, drug use, and dystopia - in a rollicking chase story that earned the novel the John W. Campbell Award and nominations for the Hugo and Nebula.
Jason Taverner - world-famous talk show host and man-about-town - wakes up one day to find that no one knows who he is - including the vast databases of the totalitarian government. And in a society where lack of identification is a crime, Taverner has no choice but to go on the run with a host of shady characters, including crooked cops and dealers of alien drugs. But do they know more than they are letting on? And just how can a person's identity be erased overnight?

TV Star Idiot in a thrilling sci fi adventure
Here's a review for "TV Star Idiot":
AI did this with a few ‘very’ loose references… close enough for me, PKD would be pleased!
"TV Star Idiot" takes readers on a wild sci-fi adventure filled with drugs, vanity, and unexpected twists. Set in a futuristic world, the story follows a charismatic TV star known for his love of women and indulgent lifestyle. When he becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy involving illicit substances, he must navigate a treacherous landscape of deception and betrayal. Alongside him is a poignant portrayal of a policeman who struggles with his emotions, adding depth to the narrative. This gripping tale explores themes of morality, celebrity culture, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. With its fast-paced plot and intriguing characters, "TV Star Idiot" is a must-read for fans of thrilling sci-fi adventures.

A great example of why Philip K Dick is as interesting as Orwell.
The use of a future setting allows the author to explore human behaviour and itge way patterns endure in different times. Beautifully read.

Not quite his best
Still good and I will listen to it again. But Eldritch, Android, Ubiq, Scanner are some of the most thought provoking novels ever. This guy was a genius! Oh and don't forget VALIS. But don't read that as your first novel of his.
