About this listen
Delmak-O is a dangerous planet. Though there are only 14 citizens, no one can trust anyone else and death can strike at any moment. The planet is vast and largely unexplored, populated mostly by gelatinous cube-shaped beings that give cryptic advice in the form of anagrams. Deities can be spoken to directly via a series of prayer amplifiers and transmitters, but they may not be happy about it. And the mysterious building in the distance draws all the colonists to it, but when they get there each sees a different motto on the front. The mystery of this structure and the secrets contained within drive this mind-bending novel.

Interesting ideas, lacking some depth of characters.
Don't get me wrong, this is an interesting read (listen). The plot is quirky and unpredictable and attempts to address some interesting topics. I found the characters a little shallow and superficial and found that I didn't really care if they lived or died. Narration is good. I could see this translating well into film - in fact it probably has. I suspect Red Dwarf (UK TV SCI-FI sir com) may have drawn inspiration from here too. On the whole a recommended read but could be a bit better.

Laidback vintage sci fi
Great PKD immersive science fiction with twists and turns along the way. Like quite a few of his books you can often feel that there should be more character development but the premise of the story more than makes up for the characters themselves. I’m always left wondering how PKD came up with so many innovative futuristic ideas. Recommended
