An early novel by Philip K. Dick: Time Out of Joint. Ragle Gumm lived in his brother-in-law's house and people thought the way he earned his living was peculiar. He had a mathematical genius which he used to solve complicated puzzles appearing in each day's newspaper. He never thought to wonder where he lived - the name of the town, the county, the state... Almost imperceptibly, his equations took over and started changing the natural order of things, until he, and everbody around him, was caught in a vortex of fear, hate, greed and lust - in a world where time was out of joint.
