The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
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.

Philip Kindred Dick was an American novelist, short story writer, and essayist whose published work during his lifetime was almost entirely in the science fiction genre. Dick explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in novels dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states. In his later works, Dick's thematic focus strongly reflected his personal interest in metaphysics and theology. He often drew upon his own life experiences and addressed the nature of drug abuse, paranoia and schizophrenia, and transcendental experiences in novels such as A Scanner Darkly and VALIS.
