Not too long from now, when exiles from a blistering Earth huddle miserably in Martian colonies, the only things that make life bearable are the drugs. Can-D "translates" those who take it into the bodies of Barbie-like dolls. Now there's competition-a substance called Chew-Z, marketed under the slogan: "God promises eternal life. We can deliver it." The question is: What kind of eternity? And who-or what-is the deliverer? In this wildly disorienting funhouse of a novel, populated by God-like-or perhaps Satanic-takeover artists and corporate psychics, Philip K. Dick explores mysteries that were once the property of St. Paul and Aquinas. His wit, compassion, and knife-edged irony make The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch moving as well as genuinely visionary.Dick, Philip K. is the author of 'Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch', published 1991 under ISBN 9780679736660 and ISBN 0679736662.
