From the accalimed chronicler of psychological extremes, an unforgettable portrait of the visionary grand master of science fiction, whose work has influenced millions
‘As Carrère shows in this imaginative biography, Dick may have been the most paranoid writer in 1970s California.. The result lends pathos and dignity to the life of a man' * Christopher Tayler, Sunday Telegraph *
‘Carrère is well qualified to conduct a tour of Dick's bizarre world. He gives telling insights into Dick's family background and the voracious and wide-ranging reading that fed into his work ... Most importantly of all, he sends us back with renewed excitement to the flawed, brilliant books themselves' * Evening Standard *
‘Compelling ... This book should convert a few more readers' * Guardian *
‘***** Film adaptations of his fiction, including Blade Runner, pale in comparison to the stories. Read I Am Alive and you'll want to go back to the novels, or envy those about to read them for the first time' * Uncut *
