Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams (Kindle eBook) $1.99
$1.99
$20.00
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Publication date: November 14, 2017
Print length: 225 pages
Customer Reviews: 4.5 out of 5 stars / 129 ratings
From the iconic author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, stories that inspired the original dramatic series.
Though perhaps most famous as a novelist, Philip K. Dick wrote more than one hundred short stories over the course of his career, each as mind-bending and genre-defining as his longer works. Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams collects ten of the best. In "Autofac," Dick shows us one of the earliest examples (and warnings) in science fiction of self-replicating machines. "Exhibit Piece" and "The Commuter" feature Dick exploring one of his favorite themes: the shifting nature of reality and whether it is even possible to perceive the world as it truly exists. And "The Hanging Stranger" provides a thrilling, dark political allegory as relevant today as it was when Dick wrote it at the height of the Cold War. Strange, funny, and powerful, the stories in this collection highlight a master at work, encapsulating his boundless imagination and deep understanding of the human condition.
Praise for Philip K. Dick
"In his top form, Philip K. Dick rivals Kurt Vonnegut."—New York Times
"Dick is one of the ten best American writers of the twentieth century, which is saying a lot. Dick was a kind of Kafka steeped in LSD and rage."—Roberto Bolaño
