New To Philip K. Dick?
Recommended First Reads
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep His most famous novel which inspired Blade Runner. A chilling futuristic story that demonstrates his creative genius. The most common gateway book for new readers of Philip K. Dick, I believe. |
UBIK A great story of corporate intrigue where time moves backwards. Intensely psychological with unpredictable plot twists. |
The Man in the High Castle Dick’s masterpiece which won the Hugo Award in 1963. A mind-bending novel which takes place in an America occupied by Axis forces. These are some of his strongest characters. |
| Or instead if you are more daring and think you would like to read more than one of these books,
this Library of America press book is a bargain, containing all three of these recommended books plus another excellent novel. If you would like further recommendations, visit The Connoisseurs’ Choice collated by Umberto Rossi |
