Talk:Martian Time-Slip

Rewrite needed...

I just added plot and essay-entry templates to this article, as it reads like an essay someone wrote attempting to summerize the plot. It would seem whomever wrote this article put alot of work into it, however it's style reads more like a book report than an encyclopedia entry. The plot sections are incomprehansible unless you just read the book, as they jump back and forth through the plot with no particular logic. The themes sections are also in dire need of cleanup and referencing. darkskyz 14:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

"Criticism"

What the hell is that crap in the section some moron called "Criticism"? It isn't even formated like the rest of the sections and it is just a list of shit that looks like book reviews, not criticisms.

Homage from Kim Stanley Robinson?

I've wondered if Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars contains a subtle homage to PKD in Part I where he writes

And then it was ringing midnight, and they were in the martian time slip, the thirty-nine and a half minute gap between 12:00:00 and 12:00:01, when all the clocks went blank or stopped moving. This was how the first hundred had decided to reconcile Mars's slightly longer day with the twenty-four hour clock, and the solution had proved oddly satisfactory. Every night to step for a while out of the flicking numbers, out of the remorseless sweep of the second hand...
