The key idea (or at least, one of them) in this story is that the shared hallucination of a coherent "Party leader" is misleading, and that when one stops taking drugs (or takes anti-hallucinogenics) each person will perceive the leader differently; to one is a monster, to the other a robot, etc. The anti-intuitive idea is that the "real" Leader is coherent, when that's the hallucination, and in "reality" the Leader looks different to each observer. Typical Philip Dick! Though I don't know if it's ok to write this spoiler in the plot summary? The andf ( talk) 18:02, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
