What is The Father-Thing and Other Classic Stories about?

**A fitting tribute to a great philosophical writer who found science fiction the ideal form for the expression of his ideas** - *The Independent*The third volume of the definitive five-book set of the complete collected stories of the twentieth century's greatest sf author; twenty-three tales which were written in little more than a year, before Philip K. Dick's first novel, *Solar Lottery*, was published in 1956. Many of these stories are previously uncollected, but also included here are some of Dick's most famous pieces, like *Foster, You're Dead*, a powerful extrapolation of nuclear war hysteria, and *The Golden Man*, a very different story about a super-evolved mutant human.This is a brilliant collection vividlly displaying some of the best of Dick's originality, quirky-humour and overflowing ideas.**One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction. Philip K. Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac** - *Sunday Times***A stunning composite portrait of our times** - *The Observer***The most consitently brilliant SF writer in the world... author of more good short stories than I can count** - John BrunnerCover Illustration:
