The Golden Man

“I have long enjoyed turning basic categories of reality inside out, like space and time. Probably because of my predilection for chaos in general.” — Philip K. Dick The second volume of the complete collection of stories and novellas by... one of the most outstanding innovators in science fiction — Philip K. Dick. The stories published between 1953 and 1959 reveal even more of him as a visionary, a creator of paradoxical worlds, a master of raising complex philosophical and religious questions and turning them into science fiction, full of paranoia, absurdity, black humor, and references to counterculture. Some works are accompanied by the author's comments. All translations are new, specially made for this edition. “Take a peek into the mind of a genius… This collection of stories is magnificent, thought-provoking, amusing, and, to be honest, even a little frightening”… “Dick effortlessly and calmly wrote serious science fiction in a popular form, and I don't know what could be a greater compliment”… “No other writer of this generation possesses such powerful intellectual strength. It will imprint itself not only in your memories but also in your imagination”… “A wonderful tribute to a great writer-philosopher who saw science fiction as the ideal form for expressing his ideas”… — Goodreads
