{{Novel | Title= Time Out of Joint | Image= Time-out-of-joint-09.jpg | Publication Date= 1959 | Company= Vintage Books (trade paperback) }} '''''Time Out of Joint''''' is a dystopian novel by American writer [[Philip K. Dick]], first published in novel form in the United States in 1959. An abridged version was also serialised in the British science fiction magazine ''[[wikipedia:New Worlds (magazine)|New Worlds Science Fiction]]'' in several installments from December 1959 to February 1960. ==Plot Summary== Time Out of Joint is [[Philip K. Dick]]’s classic depiction of the disorienting disparity between the world as we think it is and the world as it actually is. The year is 1998, although Ragle Gumm doesn’t know that. He thinks it’s 1959. He also thinks that he served in World War II, that he lives in a quiet little community, and that he really is the world’s long-standing champion of newspaper puzzle contests. It is only after a series of troubling hallucinations that he begins to suspect otherwise. And once he pursues his suspicions, he begins to see how he is the center of a universe gone terribly awry. ==Reviews== [[File:Time Out of Joint|thumb|right|335 px|Audiobook]] "This is a very strong book by Dick. The plot and characters are creative and well-developed. The setting and situations leave lots to the reader's imagination and employ strong elements of paranoia, schizophrenia and hallucination. The main character is placed in a universe where even the laws of time are controlled by an outside source. Written in 1959, Time Out Of Joint is a great example of Dick's earlier work.
