Allen Purcell has just received the job offer of a lifetime: the global director of his society's propaganda service. Since the Moral Reclamation government took over the world following a devastating nuclear war, citizens are required to watch videos enforcing the strictly puritanical rules of societyand to turn in their neighbors for any number of offenses, such as premarital sex, drunkenness, or displaying neon signs. Purcell is ready to take the job, but there is one small problem: the vandalized head from the statue of MorRec's founder is in his closet. While featuring the disdain for authority that permeate's Dick's work, The Man Who Japedstands apart for its humor and warmth. After all, who needs revolution when you can pull off a really great prank?
