Philip K. Dick is a literary phenomenon whose influence extends throughout modern popular culture and has endured for over half a century. In his shorter fiction, Dick explores many ideas that would haunt him throughout his writing career. At once philosophical, surreal and strange, his stories have breath-taking scope and might even challenge your perception of reality. This first volume contains twenty-nine stories, including some of Dick's most formative work, such as 'Beyond Lies the Wub' and 'Second Variety'. Never has there been a better way to experience one of 20th-century literature's most imaginative minds.
