A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick
My rating: 4 out of 5
My review:
While reading Scanner Darkly I was wondering how much P.K.Dick knew about drugs. It wasn’t until I reached the afterword that I realized book was semi-autobiographic in nature. I could see before my eyes how Bob Arctor the drug addict started mixing with Fred the undercover cop. And it was not a pretty sight. As destructive as Substance-D was, Fred risked his life taking it, to try and track down its local source. And he was in for a ride. Line “If I knew it was harmless I would have killed it myself” will probably stay with me for some time. Certainly a great read even for non-SF fans (because there is almost no sciency stuff)
