A Scanner Darkly <1300

A Scanner Darkly is the dark and disturbing story of Bob Arctor, a narc who is so far gone that he can&rsquo;t distinguish between his job and his junkie lifestyle. This tragic novel follows Arctor and his alter-ego, Fred (the narc) through a series of events that delve deep into the mind of the paranoid drug addict. Arctor can&rsquo;t tell if his friends are there to help him or kill him. Maybe they&rsquo;re narcs trying to set up Bob. Full of delusions, schizophrenia and hallucinations, A Scanner Darkly sheds light on the dark side of humanity by showing the twisted and psychedelic deterioration of a man whose brain can&rsquo;t even recognize himself.
