A Scanner Darkly

Hard to know how to feel about this book.

Seems like a pretty sad existence, driven home by the author's note. The characters and dialogue are bizarre. I felt like much of it went over my head. I think I might find an analysis of the themes online and then go watch the movie.

I expected more sci-fi, but it's mostly about the drug epidemic. Kind of reminds me of reading Haldeman's The Forever War and realizing it was as much about Vietnam as it was about space.
