On the arid colony of Mars the only thing more precious than water may be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. For although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, other people--especially Supreme Goodmember Arnie Kott of the Water Worker's union--suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. In Martian Time-Slip Philip K. Dick uses power politics and extraterrestrial real estate scams, adultery, and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and time.
Mars is a desolate world. Largely forgotten by Earth, the planet remains
helpless in the stranglehold of Arnie Kott, who as boss of the plumber's
union has a monopoly over the vital water supply.
Arnie Kott is obsessed by the past; the native Bleekmen, poverty-stricken
wanderers, can see into the future; while to Manfred, an autistic boy, time
apparently stops. When one of the colonists, Norbert Steiner, commits
suicide, the repercussions are startling and bizarre.
