Philip K. Dick is universally acknowledged as one of the most imaginative and brilliant science fiction writers of the 20th century. His novels and short stories have been adapted for the screen numerous times - "Blade Runner," "Total Recall," "Minority Report" to name a few - and he has received virtually every award bestowed upon writers, including becoming the first science fiction writer included in The Library of America series.
Collected here are some of Dick's finest short stories, most of which were published in pulp science fiction magazines of the era. While this collection only represents a small sampling of Dick's prodigious output (he published 44 novels and over 120 short stories during his life), we are proud to present the stories collected here in their unabridged form, as they were originally published.
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 man 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, as well as television's The Man in the High Castle. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, including the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and between 2007 and 2009, the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
