„Thurston gate response crystals“

„It makes a noise, he thought, like a thousand cosmic babies dropping an endless number of giant pot lids on to a titanic concrete floor.“

Philip K. Dick, A Maze of Death

Clearly this book has been written with the help of psychoactive substances. What a weird and awesome piece of science fiction literature.
