The Penultimate Truth

The Penultimate Truth - Philip K. Dick Straight-forward, woefully-so according to some, but still highly original science fiction from Philip K. Dick.

Most of humanity is stuck living deep underground, hiding from radiation and horrific diseases, producing new leadies for a war that never seems to cease.

A tiny elite live above trying to maintain an impossible compromise, all the while conspiring against one another, feints within feints, until the truth is almost impossible to see.

I don't have much to say on this one, it seems typical of Dick's work and had its own tinges of horror, especially with Brose, that made up for the lack of the truly bizarre.
