"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"--

An impressive story

4 stars

An impressive, intricate story; yet short.

The writing and science are dated, but since this was from the 50's, it was still a couple decades ahead of it's time. The story is quite timeless though; I can't imagine anyone else coming up with it.
