   Is the Divine Invasion a good read?

   • The Divine Invasion has to stand in the second tier of Dick's works. It reads like he wrote it with one hand while doing his taxes with the other. A thinly veiled exposition of some of his religious reading and theorizing. I'd much rather be able to read The Owl in Daylight, but I don't live in that universe.

   Is the Divine Invasion based on a true story?

   • There’s at least as much action as Star Trek and much more theological wit. The Divine Invasion is a sci-fi alternate reality version of the second coming of Christ, told as only Philip K. Dick could. More serious than VALIS and one his more serious works overall, PKD demonstrates his deep erudition of the Bible.

   How does Dick write the Divine Invasion?

   • Otherwise it's all sketched-in aliens and typewriter-based technologies and cassettes and cars in the sky. The Divine Invasion has to stand in the second tier of Dick's works. It reads like he wrote it with one hand while doing his taxes with the other. A thinly veiled exposition of some of his religious reading and theorizing.

   Is the Divine Invasion a John Waters movie?

   • The Divine Invasion (no, not a John Waters film) posits a scenario in which god, Yahweh, was essentially booted off planet Earth after the unfortunate events at Masada. Now resident in an alien hill and renamed Yah, (so much classier than Yo!) the big guy is looking to stage a comeback.

   Oct 5, 2020 · The weaving of religion-based world building with a straightforward (if complex) narrative makes “The Divine Invasion” read like one of those parts of the Bible that my Christian friends will tell me is actually a good read, not a stodgy old text. Amnesiac God.
