I abide by Dr. Johnson's dictum that "second marriages are the triumph of hope over experience." PKD got married five times; clearly a hopeful man.

He already has, bro. They're trying to Cancel ol' Muttonchops now for the multiple books he published of his own dirty limericks. Shit like this...

It's a very idiocratic world and I want scientists to develop artificial gravity fields already so I can point it at an asteroid and wipe these fake feminists out of the universe. The collateral damage (end of all known life) has been calculated to be marginal from a cost/benefit analysis.

Ahem, but in the meantime, I like to think it was just one wife (secretly an agent spying on him) that wore a Scramble Suit. Also in the end PKD realized he himself was his own wife in the suit the entire time.
