One of the greatest writers in science fiction history, Philip K. Dick
is mostly remembered for such works as Blade Runner, Minority
Report, and Total Recall. His dark, fascinating work centered on
alternate universes and shifting realities in worlds often governed by
monopolistic corporations and authoritarian governments. His own life
story seems a tussle with reality, cycling through five marriages and
becoming increasingly disjointed with fits of paranoia and
hallucinations fueled by abuse of drugs meant to stabilize him. His
dramatic story is presented unvarnished in this biography.
