Has anyone read his Martian Timeslip? It has an autistic character and easily stands as the best account of autism I've ever read. No one understood isolation like Philip K Dick and so in many ways no one has understood autism better than Philip K Dick (not that he was autistic, merely had may psychological difficulties).


Not to get off-topic but there's a movie called Moon about isolation. Worth watching.

I most recently finished Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, and I'm trying to figure out which of his novels I'm going to read next. The Man in the High Castle and Ubik sound like good choices.
