Publisher Description
A career-spanning selection of the novels, stories, essays, and letters of Phillip K. Dick: master of science fiction, voice of the counterculture, and genuine visionary.
Through his remarkable career, Dick wrote about reality, entropy, deception, and the plight of being alive. He established himself as a writer of the first order, and his dreams of the future have proven to be eerily prophetic.
Vintage PKD features extracts from The Man in the High Castle, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, Ubik, A Scanner Darkly, VALIS, and stories including “The Days of Perky Pat,” “A Little Something for Us Tempunauts," and “I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon,” along with essays and letters currently unavailable in book form.

Customer Reviews
Scam
I did not read the description carefully and assumed that this was a collection of novels and short stories by PKD. It is actually a collection of stories and a few individual chapters from several novels, so you should not purchase this if, like me, you intend to read any of the novels listed in the book’s description.
