Dick succeeded in creating a plausible imaginary world in which Americans are obliged to squirm with embarrassment, resentment and remorse; they bear the full weight of cultural oppression which has been borne in our time-stream by so many of the worldâs other peoples⦠The novel questions our whole notion of âreality,â showing how frail the consensus can be⦠It is probably Dickâs best work, and the most memorable alternative world tale, or fantasia of historical possibility, ever writtenâ (Science Fiction 100 Best, 93-94). âThe single most resonant and carefully imagined book of Dickâs career⦠One of Americaâs enduring expressionist novels of alienation and disillusionment, whose environs are no more far-fetched than the West Egg mansion of an ersatz millionaireâ (New York Times). Winner of the 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel. It is the basis for the successful series produced by Amazon Studios starring Alexa Davalos and Rupert Evans.
