I find it interesting that this novel had a different approach to the characters in the novel. We don't just follow one character, we get to see a few different characters perspectives on the bomb. It seems as though instead of focusing on governmental control of the people playing a major theme, in this story it's more about basic fundamentals of survival. With everyone competing with each other, it reminds me of that TV show "The Colony".
The thing that is most intriguing to me is to find out who Edie's father is. She seems to not be George Keller's daughter, so I'm wondering if she is Andrew Gill's daughter. She also believes that her twin brother is living inside her. At first I thought she just had a very creative imagination, but it'll be interesting to have some more information. Hopefully that is coming soon.
PKD still amazes me with the different characters he comes up with. Some of them seem to have a common theme though. Edie, Dr. Bluthgeld and Richard Kongrosian all have mental disabilities it would seem. But even though Kongrosian had a condition, he had similar powers as Hoppy. Hoppy is using his abilities to work at the mechanic shop and Kongrosian uses his to play the piano.
