Time Out of Joint

Time Out of Joint is Philip K. Dicks 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 doesnt know that. He thinks its 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 worlds 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.
