One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction Sunday Times
A fitting tribute to a great philosophical writer who found science fiction the ideal form the expression of his ideas -- The Independent
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction. Philip K. Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem naval gazers in a cul-de-sac -- Sunday Times
Dick quietly produced serious fiction in a popular form and there can be no greater praise -- Michael Moorcock
No other writer of his generation had such a powerful intellectual presence. He stamped himself no only on our memories but in our imaginations -- Brian Aldiss
