"Phillip K. Dick is a philosopher in a pulp writer's body. His books reads like pulp fiction in style but are loaded with philosophical inquires regarding reality and perception. Sometimes so much so that the text can't keep up with it. Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said is one example. The plot centers around a celebrity who finds himself no longer remembered. To be more precise, he no longer exists. All his identity is wiped out and no one knows him not even his friends. This is actually one of his more straight forward stories but all the gimmicks of a Dick novel are there; the mind altering drugs, people removed from a safe environment into the unknown, police states and malevolent authorities. Some of this may seem well worn to the casual reader However it is important to realize no one was writing stories like this before Phillip K Dick. Flow My Tears is a good read but I would recommend a couple others before this one, like Man in The High Castle, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep or Martian Timeslip. But whatever you choose, anyone into science fiction or even 20th century literature, should read at least one Dick novel."
"Entertaining. The pace of the narrative seems to accelerate, which was nice, but later made some of the earlier, carefully-crafted scenes seem superfluous to me. I almost felt like this was actually a rough draft.
The ride P.K. Dick takes me on in this book is pretty meandering. Some of the scenes and even characters seem to be works in progress. He spends an awful lot of energy developing a minor character early on (Kim Nelson), but doesn't really do the same for a more pivotal character (Alys Buckman) later in the book.
The book was written in 1974. We've experienced a lot of science fiction since then that makes the explanation for the apparent alternate universe in this book seem very primitive. The premise lacks the depth and completeness that those of us who've grown up on the tricks of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager have grown accustomed to."
"Though it might have the credibility of my brother's claim to have been a Pittsburgh Steeler fan way before they won any Super Bowls (it's true), I was on the PKD bandwagon long ago. Long before he was a Hollywood wunderkind. Heck, he was even alive when I became a big fan. For me, "Flow..." is both a warning about a future to be avoided, and an examination of grief. I've read all of Phil's books, and this one sticks with me. Among the best. It was morphed into a play as well. I saw a production in NYC, and they captured it well."
"This is my favorite of Philip K Dick's science fiction works. It is unfortunate that the screenplay Dick wrote for the book was never purchased by a studio. This is a futuristic, psychological mystery novel. The main character goes from being the most famous celebrity in a futuristic police state to having his identity erased from the world and nobody recognizes him. This may sound like kind of a cheesy plot, but the story is perfectly paced so that every 10 pages, something significant is revealed to the reader. This book is exciting and well written."
