Summary
Time Out of Joint is Philip K. Dick's
classic depiction of the disorienting disparity between the
world as we think it is and the world as it actually is. The year is 1998, although Ragle Gumm
doesn't know that. He thinks it's 1959. He also thinks that
he served in World War II, that he lives in a quiet little
community, and that he really is the world's long-standing
champion of newspaper puzzle contests. It is only after a
series of troubling hallucinations that he begins to suspect
otherwise. And once he pursues his suspicions, he begins to
see how he is the center of a universe gone terribly
awry.
