Philip К.Dick"s ironic, quirky and entertainingly idiosyncratic short fiction is brilliantly inventive and marvellously varied. The range of his ideas is stunning but his unfailing sympathy for often far from heroic, ordinary people trapped in difficult circumstances marks him out as a writer of compassion and humour as well. This exhilarating collection brings together some of the very best work of the twentieth-century"s greatest writer of science fiction.
