Luke Rhinehart, author & leading character in this psychoanalytical cult classic delivers nothing but the complete instructions
on how to live one's life on the edge of sanity, using well, a small, very normal, very average dice no less....................... Speaking as himself the mentally unraveling 'Luke Rhinehart' embarks on a psycho-philosophical
experiment using the numbers on a dice to dictate his ( and eventually many of his peer's ) many obscene courses of action to take with his life. Cheating, stealing, alter-ego's, infidelity, insanity, violence, addiction are all in a days work for the very bored and very frustrated psychiatrist Dr Luke Rhinehart. Did I mention he had a wife and two children?..Well. This book, a best seller in multiple territories, details an experiment, an experiment in lifestyle's themselves in which you as the reader will find yourself
questioning certain protocols, obsessions & any particular detail of your own day that may seem regimented and otherwise dull. Often the Dr Rhinehart character can be found questioning every facit of the modern individual from a detailed proffessional perspective sometimes to very influential extents. This book could therefore have many adverse effects on you. You might for example simply finish the book thinking you might want to spice up your day with another enthralling book. If you end up following the ethos of The Dice Man however, you could find yourself alienating your previous persona all together and adopting one where to paint yourself green and throw breadsticks at small dogs might seem completely rational and necessary.The Dice Man will grab you by the proverbials and keep you pinned down to every last word of its subversive and explicit text as you follow the lives of Dr Rhinehart and his cast of friends and familys unwittingly consumed by the growing phenominom that is, THE DICE MAN.
