Fourteen strangers came to Delmak-O. Thirteen of them were transferred by the usual authorities. One got there by praying.

Mind- and reality-bending drugs factor again and again in Philip K. Dick's hugely influential SF stories. A Scanner Darkly cuts closest to the bone, drawing on Dick's own experience with illicit chemicals and on his many friends who died from drug abuse. Nevertheless, it's blackly farcical, full of comic-surreal conversations between people whose synapses are partly fried, sudden flights of paranoid logic, and bad trips like the one whose victim spends a subjective eternity having all his sins read to him, in shifts, by compound-eyed aliens. (It takes 11,000 years of this to reach the time whe...
Blade Runner : (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Philip K. Dick / Mass Market Paperback / Published April 1990
Price: $4.79 - Savings of: $1.20 (20%) - Ships in 24 hours
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a book that most people think they remember and almost always get more or less wrong. Ridley Scott's film Blade Runner took a lot from it, and threw a lot away. Wonderful in itself, the film is a flash thriller, whereas Dick's novel is a sober meditation. As we all know, bounty hunter Rick Deckard is stalking a group of androids who have returned from space with short life spans and murder on their minds--where Scott's Deckard was Harrison Ford, Dick's is a financially strapped municipal employee with bills to pay and a depressed wife. In a world where m...

What could an omnipresent and seemingly omnipotent entity want with a humble pot-healer? Or with the dozens of other odd creatures it has lured to Plowman's Planet? And if the Glimmung is a god, are its ends positive or malign? Combining quixotic adventure, spine-chilling horror, and deliriously paranoid theology, Galactic Pot-Healer is a uniquely Dickian voyage to alternate worlds of the imagination.

Joe Fernwright, out-of-work pot-healer on an Earth bogged down by overpopulation and bureaucracy, is summoned by the Glimmung to participate in an epic undertaking. (Imagine a young Douglas Adams writing during a period of existential angst.) Like a Shaw play, this is essentially a dramatic essay in which characters do not speak for themselves but embody viewpoints. They are not much of a challenge for the oral interpreter. What this book does demand of the performer is a carefully controlled tone for the author's narrative voice, in which irony, flippancy and adolescent earnest-ness contend u...

On the arid colony of Mars the only thing more precious than water may be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. For although the UN has slated "anomalous" children for deportation and destruction, other people--especially Supreme Goodmember Arnie Kott of the Water Worker's union--suspect that Manfred's disorder may be a window into the future.

Parker's voice has a nasal quality that adds commonality to this eerie story of colonial life on Mars. Manfred Steiner is a 10-year-old autistic child, born on Mars, who Arnie Kott of the Water Worker's Union suspects may be able to manipulate time. In this venue, Dick discusses reality and explores madness as a bridge to other realms. Parker's precise reading style alleviates the intensity of the drama and sometimes frenzied action and helps the listener hang on to the story line. Using consistent pacing and tone, Parker leads us through extraterrestrial real estate scams, adultery, suicide a...

So far there was no evidence that any other intelligent race existed out there at all, let alone one willing to aid ordinary homo sapiens on in Earth where he had become a second-class citizen. For in the 22nd Century dominance in human affairs had passed to a cabal of genetic freaks - telepaths, precogs, 'New Men' with IQs which went off the scale - and ordinary men didn't have much of a chance. Suddenly a message came from Provoni. He was coming back, miraculously, with friends from...
