Summary

What would you do if you could see the future? This is the question at the heart of The World Jones Made, one of Philip K. Dick's great underrated works. Floyd Jones has always been able to see exactly one year into the future, starting one year before he was born. In the wasteland of a post-nuclear-war America, he makes his living telling fortunes at a traveling carnival, but he has bigger plans. Indeed, in a world where Relativism is the rule of the day, Jones may be the only person who can make civilization see things in terms of black and white. And if he needs to involve gelatinous aliens, hermaphrodite sex workers, and unstable government hitmen to do so, then that's just what he'll do.
