"It was quite by accident I discovered this incredible invasion of Earth by lifeforms from another planet. As yet, I haven't done anything about it; I can't think of anything to do." Nobody blends satire and science fiction like renowned luminary of the genre Philip K. Dick. This short but utterly memorable tale tells the story of a man who is utterly convinced that the world is being overrun by aliens. Is he correct, or wildly off-base? Read The Eyes Have It to find out. Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was born in Chicago and lived most of his life in California. In 1952 he began writing professionally, and during his lifetime he published 44 novels and roughly 121 short-stories. He won the Hugo Award for the best novel in 1962 for 'The Man in the High Castle' and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best novel of the year in 1974 for 'Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said'. Of course, he also authored Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' (1968), source material for the classic film 'Blade Runner' (1982). Philip K. Dick died on March 2, 1982, in Santa Ana, California, of heart failure following a stroke.

Philip K. Dick was born in Chicago in 1928 and lived most of his life in California. In 1952, he began writing professionally and proceeded to write numerous novels and short-story collections. He won the Hugo Award for the best novel in 1962 for The Man in the High Castle and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best novel of the year in 1974 for Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said. Philip K. Dick died on March 2, 1982, in Santa Ana, California, of heart failure following a stroke. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote approximately 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. Although Dick spent most of his career as a writer in near-poverty, ten of his stories have been adapted into popular films since his death, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next, Screamers, and The Adjustment Bureau. In 2005, Time magazine named Ubik one of the one hundred greatest English-language novels published since 1923.
