I 2009 blev titlen udråbt af Time Magazine som en af de 100 bedste bøger, der er udkommet siden 1923.I en ikke så fjern fremtid har menneskene lært at bruge clairvoyance til industrispionage. Samtidig har man udviklet en teknologi, der kan få afdøde mennesker til at eksistere videre i en form for dvale, som de kan vækkes af, når behovet opstår. På den måde er den afdøde Ella Runciter med til at drive firmaet Runciter Associates sammen med sin mand, Glen. Firmaet modvirker de clairvoyantes spionage for dem, der ønsker at bevare deres hemmeligheder. Da firmaet bliver angrebet af en konkurrent, ender Glen selv i en semibevidst dvale, og langsomt begynder virkeligheden at tage en ny form for de overlevende i firmaet. Tiden lader til at gå baglæns, og de bevæger sig længere og længere tilbage mod en tid, hvor der var mangel på fødevarer, mens teknologien bliver stadig mere primitiv.”Ubik” udkom første gang i 1969.

    Bogen bag filmen Blade Runner.En altødelæggende krig har efterladt jorden gold og affolket. Blandt de få resterende mennesker er dusørjægeren Rick Deckard, der bevæger sig igennem ruinerne på jagt efter bordløbne androider. Som de andre overlevende mennesker, befinder han sig i en stadig eskalerende konflikt med de robotter, menneskeligheden selv har skabt. For hvor skal grænsen trækkes mellem det kunstige og det menneskelige?Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? er den amerikanske forfatter Philip K. Dicks science fiction-mesterværk fra 1968. En deformeret men krystalklar afspejling af angsten for de gennemgribende teknologiske og politiske forandringer, der skete i USA i 1950´erne og frem. Dick vender i sine noveller vrangen ud på den amerikanske hverdag og giver sine karakterer et ubehageligt klart syn på det absurde i tingenes tilstand. Tid og virkelighed pilles fra hinanden i alternative universer og efterlader mennesket på bar bund med et totalt fravær af faste holdepunkter samt intet andet at ty til end paranoia.Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep er romanen bag Ridley Scotts klassiske sci fi Blade Runner fra 1982 med Harrison Ford i hovedrollen. Med Filmatiseringen fik verden øjnene op for Philip K. Dick. Han blev med et slag international kultforfatter. Desværre nåede han aldrig selv at opleve succesen, men døde få uger før Blade Runner ramte biograferne og introducerede hans arbejde for et bredere publikum.
