I have a weird situation with this novel. Goodreads insists I already read this in 2014. My other lists insist that I've never read this. I have no memory of ever reading this book. Yet, I have a distinct knowledge about Delmak-O, and about the Building on it - even of the different words written on it. I have to say that this is a strangely appropriate situation for a Dick book.

Of course, there might be a mundane explanation (I've read an essay on Dick's book that discussed Delmak-O and I've mixed this up with Time Out of Joint on Goodreads), but why spoil the beauty of a subjective, albeit inconsistent experience.

Because the book is all about that, and even with the rather mundane ending it is a masterpiece and a harrowing read.

Why nobody turned this into a movie yet?
