Pre-empting novels such as the Booker Prize-winning 'Time's Arrow' by as much as twenty years, Counter-Clock world is a story of racial tensions told against the background of the year 1998 in which time flows in reverse as people are born old only to grow younger and younger. Time runs backwards in the Counter-Clock World. Old people emerge from their graves, grow to middle age, youth, adolescence and childhood to be finally unborn in their mothers wombs. The most powerful - and most feared - organisation in the world is the Library, in charge of expunging the written records of events, which have no longer happened. When a powerful black leader is reborn, the Library's one concern is to eliminate him before the renewal of racial violence tears the country apart. But in this counter-clock year of 1998 it isn't that simple! This eerie and unforgettable premise encapsulates Philip K Dick's ambitious and inimitable approach to fiction writing. The attempts of his characters to cope with the bizarre reality of a world that runs backwards while their minds run forwards like ours, operate as a stunning critique of the way in which we perceive our own civilization.

图书馆的偶遇，版本是voyager-books2002年第二版 ISBN 978-0-00-712770-2 最终这本书没有读完，放弃继续阅读。原因是内容不够吸引我，前几章的卖点不够我继续读下去的动力。。。看来我还是转去硬科幻吧。
评分PKD的小说总给我一种“开头设定很带感或者构架很宏大，中间暗示了救赎的可能，但是结尾却是Nobody has achieved anything”的感觉。让我觉得读完心里特别空。就跟有个破洞在往里嗖嗖嗖地漏风一样。特别冷也特别空。
评分跟1960年代初跟第三任妻子和第四任妻子的关系对照起来看更有意思。这本书的开头和结尾都不错，中间有些流水账的感觉……比较线性。(才27页已经出场十七个人物，四个组织，两种药物了。)
