Jonathan Lethem’s Gun, with Occasional Music (Wikipedia page) read like a Philip K. Dick novel that wasn’t prepared to go all the way to the (crazed) edge. Similar first-person narrative, resonant mix of current culture with a future which has gone mildly awry with its reliance on central control (with a pervasive, encouraged use of drugs to aid the process). Beyond those similarities, this is a detective novel in the Chandler vein. I’m embarrassed that I haven’t read any Chandler, but noir was a theme that caught fire, so anyone can recognize it beyond its forefather.
I looked forward to diving in each night, so that’s a good sign.
