The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

Philip K. Dick

Published to celebrate the life and work of Philip K. Dick, the
bestselling author of BLADE RUNNER and MINORITY REPORT, on the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his death

In the overcrowded world and cramped space colonies of the late 21st
century, tedium can be endured through the use of the drug Can-D, which
enables the user to inhabit a shared illusory world. When industrialist
Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new
drug, Chew-Z, which is far more potent than Can-D, but threatens to
plunge the world into a permanent state of drugged illusion controlled by
the mysterious Eldritch.
