pdk's flaws as a novelist have been stated and restated... mostly because they're true. that said, any one of his books explodes with more ideas and 'holy shit!' moments than most people have in their dim, miserable lives. i'm a jackass for giving ubik 3 stars, but i can't get over summa those awkward-as-ass plot machinations, clumsy prose, and cardboard characters -- it's also b/c none of the books in this collection (well, mebbe high castle) should stand on their own. as with simenon - who sai...more

The four books that are included in this collection are some of the best I have ever read. These four stories together pretty much covers every genre in literature. This book is published by the Library of America and would be a great book to have on your bookshelf. The paper and binding is perfect for the multiple combined novels in the book. It feels like one solid novel when you are reading it. If anything, get it for the stories, they are amazing and life changing!

I'm really excited about this anthology. I've long wanted to read all four novels and now I have them. It was a really expensive book, but it's a good one, nicely bound and with a cloth ribbon bookmark. Doesn't take much to get me excited, as you can see!

Philip K. Dick can be overwhelming. He was a man with a brain on fire, and his stories are so packed with ideas you need to consciously pause and reflect between chapters, or in this case, novellas. I just finished the first novella of this volu...more

The Man in the High Castle:

Well, well, my first Philip K. Dick novel... And what do I think? Hm...

Well, I think that had I been younger (say, in my teens or early 20s) I would have been more impressed. As it is I enjoyed the story but ultimately it left me dissatisfied. Just as things were starting to happen, so to speak, the story stopped.

The Man in the High Castle
Something I both love and hate about PKD is the banality of so much of his writing. While most other alternative histories about WWII tend to focus on military maneuvers or politicians, The Man in the High Castle is mostly about the everyday lives of various everyday people. This is kind of a genius move, because it allows Dick to create a nightmarishly vivid alternate reality--vivid in its banality. He shows how the Axis hegemony changes American culture and individua...more

A frequent problem with science fiction is how much it confronts the reader early on in the work with terms, constructs and events which are incomprehensible. Good science fiction gives the reader an opportunity to identify with the characters' experiences and environment. The meaning of unearthly or otherworldly constructs is made sufficiently comprehensible so the reader can relate to the characters and enjoy the story. Dick did not always succeed in providing these qualities but when he did h...more

BOOK PUT-DOWN STATUS:
Completed. It was tempting to put it down during the first two stories, but I read it through because Philip is an important author to one of my friends.

All four of the stories play on the theme of the world not being what the reader expects. Which usually is a theme I enjoy a great deal. However, I didn't feel that every one of these stories handled that design well.

The Man in the High Castle and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? are arguably the most popular of his novels in this collection and, admittedly, the ones I was most excited to read. I also found them to be the least enjoyable of the collection.

I felt that The Man in the High Castle ended abruptly leaving most of the characters without strong resolution, sad because of how well written they were. Considering the concept of alternate historical fiction was new I won't punish it too hard. It was a good read but a bit jumpy.

I didn't expect a picture perfect adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. This is one of the only instances where I'm willing to say that the movie is more enjoyable than the novel. There were strange, seemingly willy-nilly, metaphors tossed into the story and I found myself struggling to believe some of the dialogue. I actually stopped at one point and said, "No man or machine would ever speak like this. It's a bit unreal." A good novel but it is lacking at times.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch was my second favorite of the novels. Although, at times, I found myself wanting to just get to reading about Barney Mayerson it was an enjoyable story. I loved how the details of the world unfolded slowly without any one character just conveniently reflecting on information that would be commonplace knowledge to them. I loved the metaphysical discussion about reality going on throughout the story.

Which leads me to my favorite of the novels in the collection, Ubik. It was thrilling and exciting. It leads you from place to place and keeps you guessing the entire time. Once it really picks up (about 20-40 pages in) it had me fully. It could have easily gone the way of most stories in which reality is in question. I appreciate that it didn't. Once I figured out what "Ubik" was, the whole story just clicked. It was a fantastic reading experience and I recommend it out of all the novels of his I have read.

When I finished with Ubik I had to sit for thirty minutes and just consider it. In fact, I considered the whole collection but Ubik had most of my mind and time. Philip K. Dick was an incredible writer.(less)

Note: this is a review mostly of Ubik. I have reviewed the other novels in this volume separately.

Ubik is a novel that will keep me thinking for a long time. It's very odd for much of the first half, so much so that you really hope that the investment in such oddity is worth it. Believe me, it is, as the second half of the novel slowly answers all of the questions from the first half. And, in a totally Dickian move, Ubik flushes all of the sense you make of things down the toilet in the final two pages. But rather than be frustrating, such a move allowed me to stand in admiration of the author, who illustrated how well Ubik was planned out.

The plot is difficult to describe, but here goes. In the near future (1992), death becomes a process rather than an event. There is a state called half-life in which the "dead" lie in caskets, but are able to communicate with the living. Such an arrangement is of clue finite, as each interaction costs the dead person some life-force.

Also, there are people who have psionic ability, for example, telepathy and precognitive ability. In response, out of concern for privacy, anti-psionics serve to block the psionics. The protagonists work for a firm, that specializes in anti-psionics.

An anti-psionic team led by Glen Runciter, with technician Joe Chip and 11anti-psionics, go to a colony on the moon for a mysterious but lucrative mission. The mission is a trap, however, and the team is subject to a bombing. Runciter, it seems, is the only one killed. Joe and the team feverishly get Glen ready for a half-life state back on Earth. As they do this, however, strange tags begin to happen. Cigarettes crumble, food spoils, and they even see Runciter's face on a coin. Even more strange, they begin to go back in time, eventually to the 1930's. and those who separate from the group wind up as a dusty set of bones.

Dick sets up a neat mystery in which the reader is slowly led to explanations of what exactly is happening. The team very slowly begins to understand with horror what their reality is. Or at least seems to be, because we are talking about Philip K Dick. Overall, while I still limed The Man I the High Castle a little better, I still feel that this novel is worthy of a five star rating.

By the way, this collection is top-notch and I am happy to have been able to read these novels here.(less)

Dick's most famous novel, The Man in the High Castle. Reading The Man in the High Castle again was almost like reading it for the first time since I remember so few plot details and as such I have to say I am mildly disappointed with the result and would give the novel on its own three stars. Don't get me wrong, like many of his fictional creations, The Man in the High Castle is a novel chock full of interesting ideas and the layers of thematic interplay as seen in the actions of the characters is never less than fascinating and in the case of this novel, thought-provoking. So why only three stars? The end, or lack of one. Dick stated that he desired a sequel to this novel and indeed he began one several times only to see those works evolve into other works. As such, The Man in the High Castle is open-ended and the final revelation two of the main characters receive from the Book of Changes (iChing) is unsatisfying in my view. Not that I wouldn't recommend the novel because I do and your view of the open-ended nature of the novel may well differ from mine. Dick is an important writer in American letters mostly because of his ideas and they are well worth engaging.

Like John Gardner's wonderful novel October Light which I just recommended to a dear friend and have been thinking about re-reading as well, The Man in the High Castle is a story within a story. Several of Dick's characters are reading a book titled The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, which is itself an alternate history like The Man in the High Castle. Unlike Dick's novel, which imagines the Allies lost World War II and the world is divided up between the Axis and Japanese powers, Grasshopper is a book where the Axis powers lost the war, President Roosevelt steps down after two terms (in Dick's novel he is assassinated) and a new President leads the post-war world. The Grasshopper Lies Heavy is forbidden in German occupied lands but is available in the Pacific regions including the western US where the Japanese are in power and so our characters have access to it and indeed the Man in the High Castle is the author of The Grasshopper Lies Heavy. The Book of Changes, or iChing, plays an important role in the Japanese occupied territories and many of the characters and those in power consult this oracle for advice, understanding, and for its supposed predictive powers. The action in the novel ultimately builds to the point where one of the main characters journeys to meet the author of the Grasshopper Lies Heavy, thwarting an assassination attempt in the process, in order to confront the author with what she believes to be the truth of his book and even its authorship. The Book of Changes is again consulted and like with so many of Dick's works, the nature of reality is itself called into question. We see the notion of what is real called into question briefly in the lives of the other players, but the finale really calls into question what we can really know about the world, or a thing at all. As such, The Man in the High Castle is a philosophical novel that is asking pointed epistemological questions which are very engaging. It's unfortunate that Philip K. Dick never realized a sequel to The Man in the High Castle as I would have loved to have read where he takes the characters and their possible worlds next. It will be interesting to see what the BBC does with their adaption of the Man in the High Castle next year as they bring it to the screen in a four part series.

The anthology as a whole is strengthened by the inclusion of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, famously adapted by director Ridley Scott into the film Blade Runner (Note that there are significant differences between Dick's story and Scott's film). This novella is more concise and the action more concentrated. The story once again calls into question the nature of reality and what we can know about it but it does so in a more engaging way simply because the at its heart the story is essentially asking what it is to be a real human being, versus say a synthetic or "artificial" life form. The action moves along nicely and the conclusion is quite satisfying. (less)

For me PKD is to science fiction something like what Graham Greene is to political fiction, or Evelyn Waugh to satire. They are not master stylists, taking the novel form in new directions, nor are they masters of the social canvas or creators of an array of multi-faceted, psychologically complex characters, and they are not even consistently great storytellers. They descend to the workmanlike and sometimes even the clumsy, in prose, characterization, and plotting. But they are still the best at...more

For instance, Japanese characters often leave off verbs to imitate stereotypical Japanese attempts at English. But then he'll use that same style for a German speaker. Overall, the setting for the book is what grabbed me, but Philip Dick (who also wrote Ubik, which should've clued me in) is just not an author I generally enjoy reading. His books dabble a little too far into the alternate reality and is just overall too strange (think Clockwork Orange versus reality) for my taste.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch: How wrong I was in my previous estimate of Philip Dick! Of the four novels in the book (three I read currently, Ubik I had previously read) this was most definitely my favorite. Much like in Ubik, the reader is constantly left wondering what is real and what isn't. The merger of Palmer Eldritch into the worlds of the user leads each to wonder if what they see is reality or fantasy. Without Palmer Eldritch, though, they would never be able to tell. It blurs the lines to such an extent that we are left questioning truly what is reality. Are we living our own lives, or is this all a dream? And if it's a dream, is it ours, or someone else's?

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep: The basis for the movie Blade Runner, the novel is interesting again in its blurring of the definition of human. If we create a machine so realistic, not only physically, but intellectually, how can we objectively determine whether a machine is human? If they can be programmed to have the exact same responses, without digging into the machinery, can we devise a test to tell the difference? Currently there is such a test, but as machines become more complex and close the gap between machine and human, will we find ourselves in a world where we have to begin to question our own "human-ness"?(less)

I don't know if this is a purely contrastive judgment, but I was much more impressed with this one than with the Eldritch book. I think that it helps that it was an alternate-history and not what I usually think of as SF, so I could dispense with the idea that I was reading a SF novel.

Philip K. Dick is the quintessential sci fi writer of the 1960s. All the concerns of the era are brought to life sometime in the future in his works -- sometime like 1992, or 2003 -- fear of state control, fear of pills and surveillance controlling our minds, and fear of the Rand Corporation. Beyond those worries, Dick peers into the future and sees global warming, video phones, and the Kindle.

This is a collection of books by Philip K. Dick.

So far the common theme seems to be that perception is no indication of reality. I've been told that Dick became rather obsessed with the idea that the Universe as we perceive it is somehow fraudulent, or perhaps that nobody's perception of reality is less valid than anyone else's. I don't know if this is true, but it would be consistent with some of his writing. Consider this potential conundrum: if you see a person acting strangely and talking t...more

Ubik is in my mind the stand out novel included here. Interesting mysteries with a couple of nice twists towards the end.

By 1961, when he wrote Man in the High Castle, he'd hit on his winning formula: sci-fi with intensely personal autobiographical elements.

I have to give credit to Dick for thinking of this idea (alternate history) so early in the game. If this novel was actually written in the 1960s, WWII had barely ended 15-20 years ago.
