SUMMARY

Discussed here are the eight novels that Patricia Warrick considers representative of Dick's finest writingthe works that will become classics, includingThe Man in the High CastleandDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Warrick shows that Dick had a remarkable sense of the cultural transformation taking place in the last half of the 20th century. Dick points out the cracks in our institutions, our ideologies, and our value systems that will inevitably lead to their collapse. His moral vision perceived a universe of infinite possibility, with shapes that constantly transformed themselvesa universe in process. And his mind was a mind in motion, constantly questioning, finding answers, rejecting them in order to seek other possibilities. For Dick, having fixed, unchangeable answers was tantamount to entropy and death.Warrick, Patricia S. is the author of 'Mind in Motion: The Fiction of Philip K. Dick - Patricia S. Warrick - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780809313266 and ISBN 080931326X.
