Book Overview

Philip K. Dick is a master sci-fi writer, his ingenious idiosyncratic stories have become blockbuster movies and challenged our perception of reality; these movies include "Blade Runner", "Total Recall", and "The Adjustment Bureau". This volume is a collection of early Philip K. Dick stories. They bear his unmistakable imprint and are thought-provoking, sometimes bizarre and sometimes sinister, questioning our perceptions of what it means to be human and how we make our ethical decisions. Due to the age of the stories they are not smooth and technologically sophisticated. Instead, they contain raw ideas that challenge and shock, they are science fiction writing at its very best, a must read for any fan of the genre. The stories are: Beyond Lies the Wub, Beyond the Door, The Crystal Crypt, The Defenders, The Gun, The Skull, The Eyes Have It, Second Variety, The Variable Man, Mr. Spaceship, Piper in the Woods

About Philip K. Dick

Over a writing career that spanned three decades, PHILIP K. DICK (1928-1982) published 36 science-fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes us human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned to deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably, Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and in 2007 the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into twenty-five languages.
