A visit to the Belmont Bevatron turns into a journey into bizarro land when 8 people get caught in the path of a malfunctioning proton beam deflector. Miraculously the 8 survive relatively unscathed and it is only as they go about their business, the day after the accident, that they realize everything is not as it seems.
Based on the fact that P.H. Dick had also written Blade runner and Minority report, I decided to try one of his stories. It quickly becomes obvious that this story was written some time ago. If you take into account that this story was written in the 1950's, then for it's time it was probably an incredible story.
Told from the point of view of the engineer who for all his supposed intelligence and training is a bit thick. It was an okay read.
