I think that unlikable characters such as Alex in A Clockwork orange can work because his personality is directly linked to the Thematic explorations of that book
Which of These 4 Sci-Fi Books is UNDERRATED?
personally I found the lighter moments in ascan Darkly really heightened the impact of the darkness whereas this to me felt like a more consistently heavy read
ultimately this is a book where the main focus was on the ideas and I found them to be incredibly thought-provoking I'll be thinking about this book for quite a long time
I found this book to be a slow burn in terms of character development and plot progression but I found it to be a rather interesting look at the minua of day-to-day existence as well as being rather thematically rewarding when it came to the larger existential questions
overall I think this was an interesting exploration of a number of ideas including drugs and genetics and relationships but for me it was a book where I was emotionally connected to some parts more than others
overall I found this an impressive speculative book especially considering it was written in 1956 I did feel like it peaked in the First Act but it was still an enjoyable read for me
if you are looking for an underrated PKD book then I would have to recommend the 3 s m of Palmer eldrich as I thought that book was fantastic and more people should give it a try
