	Afterward to Time Out of Joint
		And it was Time Out of Joint that was the firstborn of this new mutant breed, the unformed progenitor of the novels to follow, the missing link of the PKD literary ascendancy (the Van Vogt resonances here are not accidental).
		Time Out of Joint was his first really mature handling of this conflicting realities theme, something that would turn up frequently--refined, reworked, redeveloped--in his later work (literalized as The Penultimate Truth and A Maze of Death, complexified in The Three Stigmata of Palmer Edritch, UBIK, and "Faith of Our Fathers").
		In the Time Out of Joint metaphor, 1959 is Ragle Gumm's idios kosmos-- the reality he has created to shield himself from the brutal reality of 1996, the koinos kosmos.

	Philip K. Dick - Time Out of Joint
		Time Out of Joint is Philip K. Dick’s classic depiction of the disorienting disparity between the world as we think it is and the world as it actually is.
		The main character is placed in a universe where even the laws of time are controlled by an outside source.
		Written in 1959, Time Out Of Joint is a great example of Dick's earlier work.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Time Out Of Joint
		Time Out Of Joint is the latest in a seemingly unending stream of Philip K. Dick reprints in the SF Masterworks series.
		It is an early Dick novel, probably his first important one and was written in 1958 during the period in which he attempted to break into the mainstream market.
		Basically, Time Out Of Joint is one long reveal, teasingly stretching the truth out for the reader.

		She released a letter, which quickly found its way to the front page of the New York Times, that she had written on Oct. 11, 2001, to then National Security Agency director General Michael V. Hayden.
		In fact, a 2002 investigation by the Joint Intelligence Committees concluded that the NSA was not doing as much as it could have been doing under the law—and that the entire U.S. intelligence community operated in a hypercautious defensive crouch.
		There is also evidence, according to U.S. intelligence officials, that since the New York Times broke the story, the terrorists have modified their behavior, hampering our efforts to keep track of them—but also, on the plus side, hampering their ability to communicate with one another.

		TIME OUT OF JOINT is one of Dick's earlier novels that treats the theme of "The World Is Not What We Think It Is" explicitly.
		Time Out of Joint takes place in a 1959 small town world where nothing is as it seems, and it should appeal to both the non-science fiction fan who wants a good suspenseful read, and to dedicated sci-fi readers.
		TIME OUT OF JOINT is one of the last novels before Dick's narratives became more complex and polished in the sixties.

		In the last few years, as they did in the late '60s and '80s, comics have once again busted out of their relegated spot in the cultural margins.
		Time is like one big wide continuum, surging through me at all times.
		If you look at the work of Charles Dickens, they didn't come out in finely bound volumes, they were first published in parts, with splash panel and a jazzy logo and a few pictures inside.

	Stone Cold Pimpin': Time Out of Joint - Philip K. Dick
		Time Out of Joint is an early work, and tells the story of Rangle Gumm, a 40-something layabout who starts to suspect that his small-town suburban reality is not what it all seems.
		The publication date was 1959, and not only is Dick presaging all sorts of recent alt.reality movies like the Matrix and Truman Show, but part of what I liked about this novel is his depictions of life in late-50's America.
		He understands the phony veneer of post-war suburbia around the same time Twilight Zone was doing the same.

	VDARE.com: 09/25/03 - Time Out Of Joint
		Time Inc plays a key role in cleansing (or at least flavouring) the American environment.
		Time Inc turned out to be less like El Dorado and more like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World—a plateau somehow cut off from history, where all sorts of exotic flora and fauna were still flourishing long after their extinction elsewhere.
		For some time afterwards, I got calls from editors about a story I had just finished which was rising and sinking through the system quite without any help from me rather like a drowned corpse.

		Time Out of Joint has a fairly straightforward plot.

		George Seaton's 36 HOURS (1964), in which James Garner comes out of a coma in a fake Allied hospital set up by the Nazis, is based on Roald Dahl's "Beware of the Dog" plus a story by Carl K. Hittleman and Luis H. Vance (anyone know the title?).
		Dick wrote TOOJ in the winter of 1957-58, sent it to Lippincott (April 1958), where it was bought July 1958 and published in the spring of 1959.
		The primary purpose of the meeting was to keep the ratings high, or raise them, and so, consistent with this purpose, a great deal of time was devoted to discussing the destiny of a contestant..." And Ragle, unaware of how he is being manipulated, "had become valuable from the standpoint of publicity.

		There was a time in history when Muslims and Arabs were leading traders and historians of the world.
		Today, they are backward and desperate to find their place in a world in which they have nothing relevant to offer but oceans of sand and barrels of crude oil.
		Somehow, the tradeoff doesn't seem to have balanced out the fact that Arabs/Muslims have successfully achieved a level of irrelevance that is symbolized by their self hatred and brutality.

	Sadik J. Al-Azm: Time Out of Joint
		The terrorism of that period was the first visible manifestation of that impasse and the prelude to the final demise of those movements, including world communism itself.
		Today the hard-core Islamists’ spectacular terrorist violence reflects a no less desperate attempt to break out of the historical impasse and terminal structural crisis reached by the world Islamist movement in the second half of the 20th century.
		No wonder, then, to quote Shakespeare’s most famous drama, that “the time is out of joint” for the Arabs and “something is rotten in the state.” No wonder as well if they keep wondering whether they are the authors of their woes or whether “there’s a divinity that shapes [their] ends.”

		Speaking out for the rights of the poor and disenfranchised, he wins in a landslide and proceeds to enact a series of reforms to help them.
		Furthermore, the claims of being faithful to the novel are undercut by a catastrophic, inexplicable, lamely justified decision to change the story’s time period.
		The entire political context becomes skewed to the point of illogic: The central issue in the early ’50s was the hyped-up threat of domestic communism; yet there is barely any red-baiting when he goes around pushing “share the wealth” measures.

		A man finds out that his entire life is a construct and that most of the people around him are not who he thinks they are.
		He is convinced that they are trying to keep him where he is for an important purpose which he tries to work out during the course of the story.

		And you may also be familiar with the sensation of watching a staged version of something available in filmed form, now on video, and wanting to get the hell out of the theatre so you can enjoy a truly decent version of what you're seeing live.
		I mean, the choice of having a character appear in the guise of the Discovery Channel's Crocodile Hunter, and the invocation of game-show Regis: These are clever gambits, yes, but they jump the audience right out of the story's important temporal surround.
		It's almost as negatively jarring, albeit fleetingly, as the sight of the growing -- big, bigger, humongous -- man-eating plant Audrey II (built by Brian Gaston, voiced by Janis Stinson, animated by Susan Shelton) is positively jarring.

	time out of joint by philip k. dick - book review for zone-sf.com
		Time Out Of Joint comes from that golden era of Dick output that contained such 'classics' as Eye In The Sky, The Man Who Japed and, (my favourite) Solar Lottery.
		He starts to suspect that his perfect world where winning is all the keeps the world happy is under threat, he sees things no human should as the very fabric of space and time starts to tatter around the edges giving him glimpses of other past-lives, other universes, other times.
		With the help of his brother-in-law, Victor Nielson, Ragel Gumm hatches a brilliant plot to find out the truth about his quaint little 1950s' town but what he discovers is beyond his most twisted dreams - a place where sanity itself is stretched to snapping point.

	ARTicles: Rasha -- Time Out of Joint -- Sadik J. Al-Azm
		For the Arabs to own their present and hold themselves responsible for their future, they must come to terms with a certain image of themselves buried deep in their collective subconscious.
		With this belief goes the no less deeply seated conviction that eventually things will right themselves by uncrowning this usurper, whose time is running out anyway, and by restoring history’s legitimate leaders to their former station and natural function.
		Without finally coming to terms, seriously and in depth, with these painful realities and their so far paralyzing contradictions, we truly will abdicate our place in today’s world.
