Summary
For the exiles from a blistering Earth, Mars is a lonely
place, made bearable only by drugs, specifically Can-D, which
translates those who take in into a shared hallucination of a
Barbie-esque world. But the new drug Chew-Z promises more than thateternal life
itself. But it a world where everyone is tripping, no promises
can be taken at face value. When those promises come from
Palmer Eldritch, who may be human, alien, or god, they can be
trusted even less. In this wildly disorienting funhouse of a novel, populated
by God-like--or perhaps Satanic--takeover artists and corporate
psychics, Philip K. Dick explores mysteries that were once the
property of St. Paul and Aquinas. His wit, compassion, and
knife-edged irony make
The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch moving
as well as genuinely visionary.From the Inside Flap
