I'm glad. You always feel bad when you love something and recommend it, and the person hates it. Its hard not to take it personal. The good thing is that its short enough you can read it several times and not feel like you're wasting time. One thing I think that Dick was really good at presaging is the merger of corporatism with government. Obviously this was happening when he was writing, but its gotten out of hand in the last 30 years. He--and a lot of other SciFi writers, I suppose--saw this coming and tried to warn everyone. Sucks for us that we didn't listen.
