The Best of Philip K. Dick

This collection contains thirteen short stories by Philip K. Dick, author of The Man in the High Castle and other science fiction classics. Rather than predicting specific future technologies, Dick explored how technology would create alienation between people and from themselves. He recognized early on how individuals could become isolated in private realities, and how distance between people would grow even as the physical universe seemed to shrink. Dick spent his first three years as a science fiction author writing short fiction and composed nearly 150 short stories during his lifetime. Many have been adapted into Hollywood films. This collection gathers thirteen of his most characteristic tales, featuring distorted realities with unexpected twists and hidden depths.
