We Can Remember It For You Wholesale - Lost in Adaptation

me too!

Funny thing was, when I read the story, I interpreted the fact that his fantasies did both get confirmed as (possibly) meaning that something was up. I saw the story itself being altered by the memory implants in surreal way. No one raises the question of what's real, but the aliens scenario seemed so implausible that the entire text being an unreliable narrator made more sense to me. I can acknowledge this could be influenced by the question being raised in Total Recall, though.

It's okay, I didn't see the twist in 6th sense coming either and I watched it about a year after it came out.

Not having read the book I really probably can't comment too much, but I have a couple of thoughts on some things you said - Misogyny or okay with nudity - why can't it be both? I've known plenty of men (and even a few women) who think fat women like me shouldn't even wear anything low cut, let alone be nude. Unless the receptionist weighed 300 pounds and her bra size was a 40 long, there's no reason not to assume people no longer had a problem with nudity so long as you were society's standard of an attractive female. Why would he risk his life if he was the only one keeping the earth from being enslaved? Maybe because he thinks earth deserves to be enslaved but he doesn't want to kill himself so he's trying to die by other means.

Dick had a thing for tiny aliens.

I didn't see the ending of The Sixth Sense coming...

Tiny aliens makes me think of Hitchhiker's Guide. Not a great similarity, perhaps, but to me it's what comes to mind.

Valter Östberg

Well the first bit, is kind of similar, but the similarities end when he returns to the apartment.
