Book Description
Who was Philip K. Dick? A freaked-out junkie who took too many drugs? An explorer of madness who got too close to his subject? A practical joker? The most consitently brilliant SF writer in the world? At a time when most SF was about cowboys in outer space, Dick explored the landscapes of the mind.
