About this book

As the first essay collection dedicated to Philip K. Dick in two decades, this volume breaks new ground in science fiction scholarship and brings innovative critical perspectives to the study of one of the twentieth century's most influential authors.

Reviews

“The story of this collection of essays begins in 2012, a productive year for Philip K. Dick scholarship. … I would recommend to any scholar or student who wishes to tackle the issue of madness in Dick, and I hope it may inspire further research in that direction. … is a must-read for PKD scholars, and might be even more productive if approached as a series of articulate suggestions of future lines of research within and through Dick’s oeuvre.” (Umberto Rossi, Science Fiction Studies, Vol. 43, 2016)
