About this ebook

Among the great history of science fiction writing there exists firmly the legacy of Philip K. Dick. The themes of Dick's work explore the gamut of sociological, political and metaphysical. Dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states, Dick's works are well known as the source material for some of the greatest science fiction movies of all time including "Blade Runner," "Total Recall," "A Scanner Darkly," and "Minority Report." This collection pulls together many of his early short stories. Included in this volume are the following stories: "Beyond Lies the Wub", "The Skull", "The Gun", "The Eyes Have It", "Tony and the Beetles", "Mr. Spaceship", "The Defenders", "Piper in the Woods", "Second Variety", "The Variable Man", "The Hanging Stranger", "Beyond the Door", and "The Crystal Crypt."

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.
