The Philip K. Dick Reader

Many thousands of readers consider Philip K. Dick the greatest science fiction mind on any planet. Since his untimely death in 1982, interest in Dick s works has continued to mount, and his reputation has been further enhanced by a growing body of critical attention. The Philip K. Dick Award is now given annually to a distinguished work of science fiction, and the Philip K. Dick Society is devoted to the study and promulgation of his works.

Dick won the prestigious Hugo Award for the best novel of 1963 for "The Man in the High Castle." In the last year of his life, the film Blade Runner was made from his novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

This collection includes some of Dick s earliest short and medium-length fiction, including "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale "(the story that inspired the motion picture "Total Recall"), "Second Variety "(which inspired the motion picture "Screamers"), "Paycheck, The Minority Report," and twenty more."
