About
In Counter-Clock World, time has begun moving backward. People greet each other with "goodbye", blow smoke
into cigarettes, and rise from the dead. When one of those rising dead is the famous and powerful prophet
Anarch Peak, a number of groups start a mad scramble to find him first - but their motives are not exactly
benevolent, because Anarch Peak may just be worth more dead than alive, and these groups will do whatever
they must to send him back to the grave.
What would you do if your long-dead relatives started coming back? Who would take care of them? And what
if they preferred being dead? In Counter-Clock World, one of Dick's most theological and philosophical novels,
these troubling questions are addressed; though, as always, you may have to figure out the answers yourself.
