Reviews
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac * Sunday Times *
Dick quietly produced serious fiction in a popular form and there can be no greater praise * Michael Moorcock *
One of the genuine visionaries that North American fiction has produced * LA Weekly *
For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first * Terry Gilliam *
The most consistently brilliant SF writer in the world * John Brunner *
