[Philip K. Dick 04] • The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick Vol. 4

A fitting tribute to a great philosophical writer who found science fiction the ideal form for the expression of his ideas - The Independent

The fourth volume of the definitive five-book set of the complete collected stories of the twentieth century's greatest sf author covers a wide span, from late 1954 through to 1963. Those were the years during which Dick began writing novels prolifically and his short story output lessened. The title story of this collection is being made into a Steven Spielberg movie of the same name, while "The Days of Perky Pat" inspired one of Dick's greatest works, the novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldridge ; The Penultimate Truth grew from "The Mold of Yancy". Philip K. Dick is shown at his incomparable prime in this stunning collection.
