This is my favorite Philip K. Dick novel, but perhaps not his most approachable. In the story, Earth of the future fights a desperate interplanetary war. A chemical warfare agent is developed called JJ-180, which is effective against the aliens but also turns out to have drug effects that make it highly addictive to humans, with a side-effect of unintentional time travel. Those new to the author might wish to start out with the novels Ubik or Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep to ease into the bizarre world of Philip K. Dick.
