Philip K. Dick: Four Novels of the 1960s

COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION
Known in his lifetime primarily to readers of science fiction,
Philip K. Dick is now seen as a uniquely visionary figure, a
writer who, in editor Jonathan Lethem17s words, 20wielded a
sardonic yet heartbroken acuity about the plight of being alive
in the twentieth century, one that makes him a lonely hero to
the readers who cherish him.21This Library of America volume
brings together four of Dick17s most original novels.nbspThe
Man in the High Castlenbsp(1962), which won the Hugo
Award, describes an alternate world in which Japan and
Germany have won World War II and America is divided into
separate occupation zones. The dizzyingnbspThe Three
Stigmata of Palmer Eldritchnbsp(1965) posits a future in which
competing hallucinogens proffer different brands of virtual
reality, and an interplanetary drug tycoon can transform
himself into a godlike figure transcending even physical
death.Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?nbsp(1968),
about a bounty hunter in search of escaped androids in a
postapocalyptic society where status is measured by the
possession of live animals and religious life is focused on a
television personality, was the basis for the movienbspBlade
Runner. Ubiknbsp(1969), with its future world of psychic
espionage agents and cryonically frozen patients inhabiting an
illusory 20half-life,21 pursues Dick17s theme of simulated
realities and false perceptions to ever more disturbing
conclusions, as time collapses on itself and characters
stranded in past eras search desperately for the elusive,
constantly shape-shifting panacea Ubik. As with most of
Dick17s novels, no plot summary can suggest the
mesmerizing and constantly surprising texture of these
astonishing books.Posing the questions 20What is human?21
and 20What is real?21 in a multitude of fascinating ways, Dick

produced works12fantastic and weird, yet developed with
precise logic, marked by wild humor and soaring flights of
religious speculation12that are startlingly prescient imaginative
anticipations of twenty-first-century quandaries.LIBRARY OF
