having seen all of the films of books,not knowing that they were written by philip.k.dick ,i decided to try and delve into his mind and what a trip that was.
at first i struggled with the theological aspect, but soon realised that p.k.d was not just a sf writer, but was a master of suspense,comedy, and horror, one of the most important and skillfull writers of our generation,but also every generation to come! 5 stars are not enough for this man.Eye In The Sky

Philip K Dick has written the stories on which about 10 major sci fi films have been based. No film of this one yet but it's one of his best. I can't write too much about it without spoiling it but it manages to be a sci fi thriller which digs deep into the prejudices of our society in a really clever way.

Philip K Dick's fifth novel, written in 1955 and published in 1957. As with all PKD's works this novel makes you marvel at his imagination but also (if you are of a philosophical turn of mind) brings you to question and consider the themes he raises for yourself.
"It's beginning to look as though greatness has been thrust upon Philip K. Dick...[He] has chosen to handle...material too nutty to accept, too admonitory to forget, too haunting to abandon."
-Washington Post
"One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction."
-The Sunday Times (London)
If you are new to Philip K Dick's work I would also recommend the following novels (which generally seem to be regarded as among his best):
Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
Ubik (S.F. Masterworks)
A Scanner Darkly (S.F. Masterworks)
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch (S.F. Masterworks)
Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said (S.F. Masterworks)
That said, though some of PKD's works are better than others, to my mind they are all well worth reading. I would also recommend his short story collections:
Beyond Lies The Wub: Volume One Of The Collected Short Stories
Second Variety: Volume Two Of The Collected Short Stories
The Father-Thing: Volume Three Of The Collected Short Stories
Minority Report: Volume Four Of The Collected Short Stories
We Can Remember It For You Wholesale: Volume Five of The Collected Short Stories
