WE CAN REMEMBER IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE Philip K. Dick Complete Stories vol 5 HC OP

Description: WE CAN REMEMBER IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE: THE COMPLETE STORIES OF PHILIP K. DICK Volume 5. Burton, MI; Subterranean Press; 2014. 1st Sub Press hardcover edition. OUT OF PRINT. Publisher description: Dust jacket by Bill Sienkewicz Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the seminal figures of 20th century science fiction. His many stories and novels, which include such classics as Ubik and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, reflect a deeply personal world view, exploring the fragile, multifarious nature of reality itself and examining those elements that make us—or fail to make us—fully human. He did as much as anyone to demolish the artificial barrier between genre fiction and “literature,” and the best of his work has earned a permanent place in American popular culture. We Can Remember It for You Wholesale is the final installment of a uniform, five-volume edition of The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick. This expansive collection contains 27 stories and novellas written between 1963 and 1981, years in which Dick produced some of his most mature work, including such novels as Ubik, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, and A Scanner Darkly. Among the many pleasures included here are the classic title story (filmed twice as Total Recall), in which an ordinary clerk, awash in resurrected memories, discovers the truth about his past and about the astonishing role he has played in human history; the Hugo-nominated “Faith of Our Fathers,” with its bleak and controversial vision of a predatory deity; and “The Electric Ant,” a brilliant embodiment of a classic Dick theme: the elusive—and changeable—nature of what we believe to be “real.” Like its predecessors, this generous volume offers wit, ingenuity, and intellectual excitement on virtually every page. The best of these stories, like the best of Dick’s novels, are richly imagined, deeply personal visions that no one else could have written. They’re going to be around for a very long time to come. Trade: Fully cloth bound hardcover edition. OUT OF PRINT. From Publishers Weekly: “This fifth and final deluxe collection of Dick’s short stories contains numerous examples of why he continues to rank as one of the most influential authors of SF… This volume makes the case that Dick’s last works were some of his most provocative.” Table of Contents:The Little Black BoxThe War with the FnoolsA Game of UnchancePrecious ArtifactRetreat SyndromeA Terran OdysseyYour Appointment Will Be YesterdayHoly QuarrelWe Can Remember it for You WholesaleNot by its CoverReturn MatchFaith of Our FathersThe Story to End All StoriesThe Electric AntCadbury, the Beaver Who LackedGoodbye VincentA Little Something for Us TempunautsThe Pre-PersonsThe Eye of the SybilThe Day Mr. Computer Fell out of its TreeThe Exit Door Leads InChains of Air, Web of AetherStrange Memories of DeathI Hope I Shall Arrive SoonRautavaara’s CaseThe Alien MindNotes Fine in fine dj.
