“Dick skillfully explores the psychological ramifications of this nightmare.”–New York Times Review of Books

Jason Taverner–world-famous talk show host and man-about-town–wakes up one day to find that no one knows who he is–including the vast databases of the totalitarian government. And in a society where lack of identification is a crime, Taverner has no choice but to go on the run with a host of shady characters, including crooked cops and dealers of alien drugs. But do they know more than they are letting on? And just how can a person’s identity be erased overnight?
