A cult masterpiece named novel of the century by Loaded and one of the fifty most influential books of the last half-century by the BBC, The Dice Man remains a shocking, humorous, and deeply unsettling exploration of the ultimate freedom: the freedom to be anyone.
Bored psychiatrist Luke Rhinehart is about to make the most dangerous decision of his life: he's going to let a pair of dice decide his next move.
What begins as a playful experiment in dice therapy quickly spirals into a subversive, anarchic revolution against the self. As Rhinehart sheds his identity one roll at a time, he invites the reader into a blackly comic world where morality is a roll away and the only sin is consistency.
Entertaining, humorous, scary, shocking, subversive, The Dice Man is one of the cult bestsellers of our time.
A blackly comic amusement park of a book. --Time
