Last night, Ben was reading a Phillip Dick novel in the closet. Did anyone catch the title of the book or check to see what it is about?

Phillip Dick novels are always very interesting and deal with a lot of things, might be a clue...

Ben was reading VALIS.

It was written/published in 1981. The title is an acronym for Vast Active Living Intelligence System, Dick's gnostic vision of one aspect of God.

VALIS is the first book in the VALIS trilogy of novels including The Divine Invasion (1981), and the unfinished The Owl in Daylight. VALIS represents Dick's last major work before he died.

Thanks for the synopsis. I checked the forums and couldn't find a thread for this so I posted. Sounds like it could almost sum up the Black Smoke...
