Book Binging: Lies, Inc. by Philip K. Dick

I just finished reading Lies, Inc. and I gotta tell ya'; I'm feeling kinda dumb. There is an entire quarter of the book that I don't understand. There's about 48 pages of words strung together that I can't seem to relate to the rest of the book. My confusion started at the LSD sequence and didn't end until Applebaum opened the damn tin. What the hell was that?

The afterword helped diminish some of my fears that today's exposure to the suffocation humidity and heat during my walk to the train and then back home had, in fact, cooked my brain. Apparently, as the afterword goes into detail, this story has gone through a bit of splicing and dicing with and without Dick at around the same 48 pages where I got lost. I don't feel so bad.

Except for the 48 pages that made me wonder if I was on drugs the story was fast paced adventure all the way and I can see Ben Affleck badly playing Applebaum in some future adaptation.
