    <![CDATA[In the overcrowded world &amp; cramped space colonies of the late 21st century, tedium can be endured thru the drug Can-D, which enables users to inhabit a shared illusory world. When industrialist Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new drug, Chew-Z. It is far more potent than Can-D, but threatens to plunge the world into a permanent state of drugged illusion controlled by the mysterious Eldritch. THE THREE STIGMATA OF PALMER ELDRITCH is, by universal consent, one of Dick's three key novels, &amp; the book in which he first took his perennial interest in the fragile nature of reality to a new level of imaginative intensity.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd heard that PKD's stories were psychedelic and funny, and that's true of The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. The characters, most of them the rough equivalent of advertising executives, are mired in a sexist, uber-capitalist future where drugs are used to avoid painful realities and to conquer...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64662269">more...</a>]]></body>
