Martian Time-Slip by Philip K. Dick Read by Marc Overton This book was first published in 1964 Audio originally issued by NLS on cassette in 1982 The best audio version for this book is read by Grover Gardner/Tom Parker. Either way this is a great book. On an arid Mars, local bigwigs compete with Earth-bound interlopers to buy up land before the UN develops it and its value skyrockets. Martian Union leader Arnie Kott has an ace up his sleeve, though: an autistic boy named Manfred who seems to have the ability to see the future. In the hopes of gaining an advantage on a Martian real estate deal, powerful people force Manfred to send them into the future, where they can learn about development plans. But is Manfred sending them to the real future or one colored by his own dark and paranoid filter As the time travelers are drawn into Manfred's dark worldview in both the future and present, the cost of doing business may drive them all insane

Given this was narrated in the 70's, the voice of Arnie sounds uncannily like Donald J Trump of the 2010's, and the character isn't a million miles away either. Make America Gubbish again, said Arnie.

Love how all the different book covers from all the different published translations across the world are displayed one at a time.
A true tribute to the author's span of influence globally

I read this nearly 50 year ago and thought it was weirdly very good. Glad to listen to it again. Still waiting for The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
