Radio Free Albemuth

by Philip K. Dick

Radio Free Albemuth Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In Radio Free Albemuth, his last novel, Philip K. Dick morphed and recombined themes that had informed his fiction from A Scanner Darkly to VALIS and produced a wild, impassioned work that reads like a visionary alternate history of the United States. Agonizingly suspenseful, darkly hilarious, and filled with enough conspiracy theories to thrill the most hardened paranoid, Radio Free Albemuth is proof of Dick's stature as our century's greatest science fiction writer.

Review:

"[An] engrossing, non-stop excursion into a believable vision of Hell." Publishers Weekly
