false <![CDATA[Lies, Inc.]]> 22582 10 A masterwork by Philip K. Dick, this is the final, expanded version of the novellla The Unteleported Man, which Dick worked on shortly before his death. In Lies, Inc., fans of the science fiction legend will immediately recognize his hallmark themes of life in a security state, conspiracy, and the blurring of reality and illusion. This publication marks its first complete appearance in the United States. In this wry, paranoid vision of the future, overpopulation has turned cities into cramed industrial anthills. For those sick of this dystopian reality, one corporation, Trails of Hoffman, Inc., promises an alternative: Take a teleport to Whale's Mouth, a colonized planet billed as the supreme paradise. The only catch is that you can never comeback. When a neurotic man named Rachmael ben Applebaum discovers that the promotional films of happy crowds cheering their newfound existence on Whale's Mouth are faked, he decides to pilot a scapeship on the eighteen-year journey there to see if anyone wants to return. 3547502 book 1964 Lies, Inc. total:419|5:57|4:113|3:163|2:67|1:19| 419 1379 593 42 4 2 false false Sat Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat May 03 07:13:53 -0700 2008 Sun Dec 21 00:05:24 -0800 2008
Despite the fact that it's inchoate, this is a very enjoyable novel. Many of Dick's preoccupations are here--alternate realities, mind-altering drugs, mad scientists, a supra-potent UN--and we also have ...more...]]> 2 0 false true Sun Aug 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 16:47:53 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 10:50:44 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 3 0 false true Sat Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 04:56:37 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 17:59:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Sun Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 17:41:01 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 17:56:31 -0700 2009 The Unteleported Man.

Still the best account of a LSD experience I have ever read.
Also, the 12 identifiable intrepetations of the reality of the settlement: probably based on 70's psychological rubbish, but still mind stretching.
