Description
“Philip K. Dick—an author we simply can’t do without. If Dick didn’t exist, he would have to be invented.” — Jonathan Lethem
“We sci-fi fans—right now I’m speaking as a reader, not as a writer—read it out of love for a certain chain reaction, for the images born from the ideas contained in the book you’ve read. And in the end, the best science fiction turns into a collaboration between author and reader—a creative union that brings both of them genuine pleasure and the joy of discovering something new.” — Philip K. Dick
You have before you the first volume of the complete collection of stories and novellas by one of the most outstanding innovators of science fiction—Philip K. Dick. On the pages of this book you will meet the writer’s early work, revealing his interests, ideas, and the search for methods that turned “pulp” science fiction into original—and sometimes paranoid—visions full of satire, not devoid of humor, and driven all the way to absurdity.
The first volume of Philip K. Dick’s collected stories includes works written in 1947—1952, some of which are accompanied by comments from the author.
“See, the thing is: to be a writer is… Well, like that time when I asked one of my friends what he planned to do after college, and he answered: ‘I’ll go into piracy’—and he wasn’t joking at all.” — Philip K. Dick
