Philip Kindred Dick was an American novelist, short story writer, and essayist whose published work during his lifetime was almost entirely in the science fiction genre. Dick explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in novels dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states. In his later works, Dick's thematic focus strongly reflected his personal interest in metaphysics and theology. He often drew upon his own life experiences and addressed the nature of drug abuse, paranoia and schizophrenia, and transcendental experiences in novels such as A Scanner Darkly and VALIS.

completely independent of the content of any of these books, i just think these names are rad on their own :) feel free to suggest more
I myself, I am not a character in this novel; I am the novel. So, though, was our entire nation at this time. This book could've only been written by someone who went through a serious drug addiction. The atmosphere of paranoia, murk, and fatigue is masterful…
Fun read. Psychedelic and ridiculous in the endearing style of PKD. The book is written with cinematic flair and undergirded by a great sense of humour. I found myself thinking about the ideas in the book during random parts of the day and making connections…
