Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said
John W. Campbell Memorial Award, 1975
Another classic novel from the world’s greatest writer of science fiction
Jason Taverner is a Six, the result of top secret government experiments forty years before which produced a handful of unnaturally bright and beautiful people … and he’s the prime-time idol of millions until, inexplicably, all record of him is wiped from the data banks of Earth. Suddenly he’s a nobody in a police state where nobody is allowed to be a nobody.
Will he ever be rich and famous again? Was he, in fact, ever rich and famous?

Reviews
For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac
The most consistently brilliant SF writer in the world
One of the genuine visionaries that North American fiction has produced
Dick quietly produced serious fiction in a popular form and there can be no greater praise
