Dick: Collected Short Stories ISBN:0615561187 Author:Dick, Philip K.; Gill, David Publisher:Echo Point Books & Media, LLC Release Date:2013 Seller Category:-- Qty Available:1 Condition:New Sku: 2341029 Notes: New. First printing. An exceptional copy. 2013 Trade Paperback. 224 pp. Thirteen short stories by the legendary author of The Man in the High Castle and other science fiction classics. Philip K. Dick didn’t predict the future―he summoned the desperate bleakness of our present directly from his fevered paranoia. Dick didn’t predict the Internet or iPhones or email or 3D printers, but rather he so thoroughly understood human nature that he could already see, even at the advent of the transistor, the way technology would alienate us from each other and from ourselves. He could see us isolated and drifting in our own private realities even before we had plugged in our ear buds. He could see, even in the earliest days of space exploration, how much of our own existence remained unexplored, and how the great black spaces between people were growing even as our universe was shrinking. Philip K. Dick spent his first three years as a science fiction author writing shorter fiction, and in his lifetime he composed almost 150 short stories, many of which have gone on to be adapted into (slightly watered down) Hollywood blockbusters. Collected here are thirteen of his most Dickian tales, funhouse realities with trap doors and hidden compartments. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
