Radio Free Albemuth by Philip K. Dick - First Edition
This is a first edition copy of one of science fiction’s most beloved and collectible author, Philip K. Dick. This near fine copy of “Radio Free Albemuth” includes a near fine dust jacket, a tight binding, and crisp, clean pages.
The story is set in a dystopian America where a totalitarian regime, the American Empire, suppresses dissent and controls information. The protagonist, Nick Brady, is an aspiring writer who experiences a series of prophetic visions and strange encounters with a mysterious entity he calls "Valis," an acronym for "Vast Active Living Intelligence System."
As Nick grapples with these visions, he becomes increasingly aware of a secret struggle for truth and freedom. His friend, the writer Philip K. Dick — upon whom many of the book’s events are centered — becomes embroiled in a conspiracy involving a religious movement aiming to unveil the oppressive regime. The narrative intertwines elements of philosophy, theology, and surveillance, culminating in Nick’s realization of the profound implications of his experiences.
Ultimately, “Radio Free Albemuth” examines the nature of reality and the human spirit's resilience against authoritarianism, presenting a complex tapestry that challenges the boundaries between fiction and truth.
