About this ebook

A psychic man has the power to change a post-apocalyptic world in this science fiction novel from the author of Solar Lottery.
 
Precognition; a world ruled by Relativism; giant alien jellyfish. The World Jones Made is a classic Philip K. Dick mash-up, taking deep philosophical musings and infusing them with wild action
 
Floyd Jones has always been able to see exactly one year into his future, a gift and curse that began one year before he was even born. As a fortune-teller at a post-apocalyptic carnival, Jones is a powerful force, and may just be able to force society away from its paralyzing Relativism. If, that is, he can avoid the radioactively unstable government hitman on his tail.

Ratings and reviews

Still relevant if now, and easy to imagine more so now than when it was written. The ending didn't gk where I wanted it to, but it was still great overall

I really liked it I just felt like the ending was a little rushed other than that it was an awesome book
