San Francisco lies under a cloud of radioactive dust. People live in half-deserted apartment buildings, and keep electric animals as pets because so many real animals have died. Most people emigrate to Mars - unless they have a job to do on Earth. Like Rick Deckard - android killer for the police and owner of an electric sheep. This week he has to find, identify, and kill six androids which have escaped from Mars. They're machines, but they look and sound and think like humans - clever, dangerous humans. They will be hard to kill. The film Blade Runner was based on this famous novel.

Disorienting and bleakly funny work about the hidden mysteries of Gnostic Christianity. In VALIS (an acronym for the Vast Active Living Intelligence System), a schizophrenic hero named Horselover Fat is suddenly given a wildly different view of reality through the beam of a pink laser. Dick spins a theological detective story (and increasingly becomes a participant himself), in which God is both a missing person and the perpetrator of the ultimate crime
