Five Great Novels

This volume contains DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? (filmed as Bladerunner), MARTIAN TIME SLIP, UBIK, THE THREE STIGMATA OF PALMER ELDRITCH and A SCANNER DARKLY. Taken together they represent the best of Philip K. Dick's unique imagination.

In Dick's writing nothing is what it seems, our sense of the world's order is fatally undermined and mass media tells us nothing but artful lies. Films such as The Matrix and The Truman Show would not have been made but for Philip K. Dick. His work has never been more timely.
