2 posts | 3 read | 1 reading
This early work by Philip K. Dick was originally published in 1953 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Golden Man' is a novelette about a feral young man with a gift of being able to see into the future. Philip Kindred Dick was born on December 16 1928, in Chicago, Illinois. Dick and his family moved to the Bay Area of San Francisco when he was young, and later on to Washington DC following his parents divorce. Dick attended Elementary school and then a Quaker school before the family moved back to California. It was around this time that Dick began to take an active interest in the science fiction genre, reading his first magazine 'Stirring Science Stories', at age twelve. Dick married five times between 1959 and 1973, and had three children. He sold his first story in 1951 and from that point on he wrote full-time, selling his first novel in 1955. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote an estimated 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote an estimated 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. After his death, many of his stories made the transition to the big screen, with blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report being based on his works.

Been reading a lot of Philip K. Dick recently to inspire myself to finish my rough draft of my new novel. (It's my first sci-fi book.)

Saw this collection of short stories at the used book store and from the cover alone I had to have it. It's "okay" so far.
