Although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, some suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. But what sort of future? In Martian Time-Slip, Dick uses power politics and extraterrestrial real-estate scams, adultery, and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and time.The Golden ManIn the post-nuclear America, monstrous mutants roam freely.
