It 's worth a read, it's very different to (and much weirder than) the film. They essentially took some of the background and key concepts and wrote a different story with different characters.

About 15 years ago (things may be different now, with subsequently released movies) I was on a convention panel that concluded that there were movies that were more like adaptations of PKD books than anything that actually was an adaptation of a PKD book: I remember Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Man Facing Southeast cited in particular.

Yeah, I enjoyed the both but they are really nothing alike. I don't think I'd have guessed the film was an adaptation if I hadn't known (I saw the film years before I read the book, my High school Geography teacher used it as part of his urban geography curriculum)
