Synopsis
The desert colony on Mars is a desolate place. In the colony resides Manfred Steiner, a 10-year-old schizophrenic boy who, like all the other "anomalous" children, has been deported from Earth by the U.N. and awaits his destruction on Mars. But other people, including Arnie Kott of the Water Workers' Union, think that Manfred's schizophrenia is actually a way into the future. The only question is, what kind of future is it?

Publisher's Note
On the arid colony of Mars the only thing more precious than water may be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. For although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, other people--especially Supreme Goodmember Arnie Kott of the Water Workers union--suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. In Martian Time-Slip Philip K. Dick uses power politics and extraterrestrial real estate scams, adultery, and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and time.

Industry Reviews
"[Philip K. Dick is] the most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world."
Book Jacket - John Brunner

"The fact that what Dick is entertaining us about is reality and madness, time and death, sin and salvation--this has escaped most critics. Nobody notices that we have our own homegrown Borges."
Book Jacket - Ursula K. Le Guin
