Some consider it Philip K. Dick's best novel.

It's about an undercover cop who suffers a psychotic break and can no longer distinguish between his cop identity and the undercover hippie persona.

I briefly wondered what would happen if you went so far undercover in DUmmie land you actually became one of them! Or a part of you became one of them. And the novel popped into my mind.

This isn't the first time this novel has popped into my mind during AndyScam. There's something about some ailment of the pancreas Dick believed he suffered as a result of the drugs he, the actual author, took (I believe he was a speed freak).

Anyway, it isn't my favorite novel and so I cannot recommend it and you seem fairly well grounded so I cannot even recommend it as a warning, it just keeps coming to my mind during this whole AndyScam.

Another novel that has come to mind, but with much less frequency is Now Wait for Last Year. There is the character of the President of Earth who keeps dying whenever a diplomatic crisis arises and is replaced by a twin from an alternate universes where he wasn't elected.
