Floyd Jones is sullen, awkward, and probably mad, but very quickly he goes from a fortune teller in a circus of mutated beings to becoming the main instigator of political unrest on an entire planet.

Although Jones has the ability to see the future - a gift that makes his life a torment - his real talent lies elsewhere: in a world where dreams are illegal, he has the ability to make people dream again, even if the dream is a nightmare.

In the disturbing chronicle of the rise and fall of a post-nuclear Messiah by Philip K. Dick, the reader discovers a novel that is both absolutely realistic and simultaneously prophetic. Because, alongside the mechanical mutated beings, the hermaphroditic dancers of erotic dances, and the Drifters - primordial beings coming from the stars - Jones's World offers us a dangerously accurate reading of our hunger to believe in something.
