Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said

Jason Taverner is a Six, the result of top secret government experiments forty years before which produced a handful of unnaturally bright and beautiful people - and he's the prime-time idol of millions until, inexplicably, all record of him is wiped from the data banks of Earth. Suddenly he's a nobody in a police state where nobody is allowed to be a nobody. Will he ever be rich and famous again? Was he, in fact, ever rich and famous?

Winner of John W Campbell Award 1975 (UK)

One of the most important figures in American science fiction, Philip K. Dick was born one of twins - his sister died in infancy - and lived most of his life in California. In a career of prodigious productivity and achievement, he wrote more than fifty books. The films Blade Runner and Total Recall are both based on his stories.
