Just extremely baffled by the ending. Was Dick advocating for disabled people’s rights with John Isidore? I do agree that the book does bring up some amazing questions such as what makes us human and sequences that just made me blow my mind (the toad and the fake police station).
Or was it just a simple story of a man who was able to rekindle his failing relationship with his wife through emotionally traumatic events? I tried to see what he was saying about religion through Mercerism but I was just dumbstruck, especially that Oregon sequence. What was he advocating for and why did he write this book?

Where do you draw the line between humanity and machines? If the machines are sufficiently advanced to the point where they are able to experience emotions, are they still machines?
