Martian TimeSlip and The Golden Man
Author: Philip K. Dick
Martian Time-SlipOn the arid colony of Mars, the only thing more precious than water may be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. Although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, some suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future. But what sort of future? In Martian ...  more », Dick uses power politics and extraterrestrial real-estate scams, adultery, and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and time.The Golden ManIn the post-nuclear America, monstrous mutants roam freely. A government agency, the DCA, is formed to rid the world of mutants. But there is one of the new species that is not a monster: eighteen year old Cris Johnson. He is a perfect specimen of young manhood, an icon of masculine beauty. He is the golden man. But the DCA's fear that he might mate and produce a new race of golden men with survival skills far superior to ordinary men makes his destruction paramount.

I truly enjoyed this Sci-fi book for two distinctly different reasons. The first is the story and content itself. It was very interesting to read a future book written in the early 1960's. To see through the eyes, and the creativity of someone without the perspective we now have.... no computers, cell phones, or even microwave ovens existed at the time. What the future may become was quite different from their perspective. The second was the political and racial climate of the 60's and the strong influence it carried through the story, as well as the residual infleunce from World War 2. Some people may be offended by the use of terms such as "Color'ds", "Niggers" and the derogatory stereotypes... In the end, the story shows the ignorance of such.... While I in no way condone the use of such sterotypes or derogatory statements, I do appreciate the real history of such progressions in our society. I therefore found it very interesting to hear this in a way as would not be politacally correct today.
