Synopsis
Bischoff takes on Philip K. Dick territory, with the story of a high school student who discovers his whole world is a sham ... high school, teachers, friends, and universe--none of them are what they seem. Mix in liberal doses of aliens, alienation, teen rebellion, stir in paranoid delusions, and you get a frothy mix that would have made Phil Dick himself proud!
