Product Description

Product Description
It's the year 2080, and Earth's seemingly insurmountable overpopulation problem has been alleviated temporarily by placing millions of people in voluntary deep freeze. But in election year, the pressure is on to find a solution which will enable them to resume their lives. For Jim Briskin, Presidential candidate, it seems an insoluble problem -- until a flaw in the new instantaneous travel system opens up the possibility of finding whole new worlds to colonise.

About the Author
Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was born in Chicago but lived in California for most of his life. He went to college at Berkeley for a year, ran a record store and had his own classical-music show on a local radio station. He published his first short story, 'Beyond Lies the Wub' in 1952. Among his many fine novels are The Man in the High Castle, Time Out of Joint, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said.

2.0 out of 5 stars A shameless Publishing rip-off, 18 Sep 2003
This book is "A Crack in Space" - one of Dick's first published works.
When I bought it - I looked over the first few pages to see if it had any "previously published as.." type details. As a PKD fan I didn't recognise it so I thought it must be one of his lesser known hitherto unpublished works (like "The Owl in Daylight").

I regard this as a publishing con unworthy of the memory of so great a writer as PKD.

If you like Dick and want to read some of his good early work, then buy "Cosmic Puppets" or the great collection of early short stories "Beyond lies the Wub". Later gems include "Martian Time Slip", "Dr.Bloodmoney", and "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" - Read one of these instead!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cantata 140, 16 May 2003
By A Customer
Rather dull by PDK's standards but still offers some neat ideas. If you've already read "The crack in space", don't bother with this. It's the same story under a different title, not that this is apparent from the minimal information accompanying this new edition.
