London, Jonathan Cape, 1966. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. Nominated for the 1965 Nebula Award. A small bump to the outer edge of the upper board, jacket a little rubbed with a few nicks to the head of the spine. A little sunning to the spine. A nice copy. China Mieville, in selecting this novel as one of his top weird fiction books of all time (The Guardian, 14 May 2002), writes "It's infuriating to have to choose just one of Dick's works ? he is the outstanding figure in SF. In the end I went for Stigmata because I remember how I felt when I put it down. Hollow and beaten. I kept thinking: 'That's it. It's finished. Literature has been finished'".Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) had a profound influence on the science fiction genre, and popular culture in general. He's best remembered for the source material for Blade Runner, but his main tangible influence has been on the understanding of the human mind and reality.
