"And then the hallucination, if it was that, happened. He saw the personnel manager in a new light. The man was dead.
He saw, through the man’s skin, his skeleton. It had been wired together, the bones connected with fine copper wire. The organs, which had withered away, were replaced by artificial components, kidney, heart, lungs—everything was made of plastic and stainless steel, all working in unison but entirely without authentic life. The man’s voice issued from a tape, through an amplifier and speaker system. [...]"
-From Philip K. Dick’s 1964 novel Martian Time-Slip.
Head over to Biblioklept to read the rest of the PKD transcription & post
I've heard now by a number of people that the Martian Time-Slip is a highly over-looked PKD gem. Rarely all that spoken about, in the mainstream discourse, but often very fondly remembered and liked by those in the know. By those good souls who have read it.
I think that I will probably dig into that martian dirt at some time. Maybe/probably really soon. (Though the stack of my letters and books is getting so close to the roof! Anyhow, anywho!)
Biblioklept has a bunch of other good PKD posts as well.
I really liked this one riff, about the Martian Time-Slip:
