It was one of his earlier works, which sets itself adequately, while maybe not as proficiently as some of his later works. The plot here wanders a little, like a lesser Dick novel does, but it still manages to push on through, sufficiently, to its destination. I felt this to be a little bit typical and expected of a Dick novel, although there were some parts in the first third that were unexpected and novel. Overall, still a book for Philip K. Dick enthusiasts, but the regular Sci-Fi reader might not find this one up to par. 3 stars. Excelente. Podia ser um feito um filme brilhante inspirado neste livro. Um mundo que foi transformado num paradigma de abjeta moralidade em que em blocos de apartamentos com uma divisão minúscula, onde se faz tudo, exceto a casa de banho que é única, pública é comum, existe uma quase militar fiscalizadora em que semanalmente as pessoas são acusadas por terem cometido atos que atentam contra a suposta moralidade desse mundo. Essa modalidade é transmitida regularmente em programas, que são desenhados por agências que desenham conteúdos e existem agentes que preservam essa moralidade. À semelhança ao controlo nazi pelos jovens e ao espírito das SS é notória e cria o interesse em acompanhar o que acontece de seguida, ou seja, quando a estátua do salvador desse mundo, major Streiter é profanada de uma forma hilariante, sem se saber por quem. Todo o livro gira à volta da personagem principal que vive nesse mundo, mas que está desconfortável de uma forma subconsciente com os epítomas doentios de suposta moralidade que brotam dessa sociedade meio psicopata. À medida que ele toma consciência do que têm vindo a fazer, partilha com a mulher e desenrola uma sucessão de acontecimentos para tentar ajudar a despertar uma consciência coletiva supostamente adormecida. Mais uma obra genial de um autor fundamental do século XX geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Following a devastating nuclear war, the Moral Reclamation government took over the world and forced its citizens to live by strictly puritanical rules -- no premarital sex, drunkenness, or displaying of neon signs -- all of which are reinforced through a constant barrage of public messages. The chief purveyor of these messages is Alan Purcell, next in line to become head of the propaganda bureau. But there is just one problem: a statue of the government's founder has been vandalized and the head is hidden in Purcell's closet. In this buttoned-up society, maybe all a revolution needs is one really great prank . . . Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

A MOVIE. This novel is a comedic GEM. It's funny as hell. A very McCarthy-era satire mixing post-apocalypse with uber-concerns with public morality in a paranoid state with tiny robots spying on everyone.
The witch-hunts never stopped.
And yet... a man with a sense of humor in the right place at the right time can change the world.
Not to spoil things, but car chases at 30 miles per hour and punting the head of a statue is just icing on the cake.
I can totally see Jon Hamm taking the lead with his totally confident smile as charges of public indecency are leveled against him or when he picks up James Joyce's [b:Ulysses|338798|Ulysses|James Joyce|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1428891345s/338798.jpg|2368224] or when the homage to Swift's [b:A Modest Proposal|5206937|A Modest Proposal|Jonathan Swift|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348659670s/5206937.jpg|6627040] airs on public tv.
My imagination adds a rioting crowd of B-52's and horn-rimmed glasses, and oh! such outrage!
Who will stand with me? One last practical joke to topple society? Let me see a show of hands! :) ( )
