There must be something in the air with Dick. Just started The Man in the High Castle this week.
I just couldn't believe when I read Ubik that the book was there all this time and I have never read it! Or read anything by Dick. I am also planning to read The Man in the High Castle in my PKS spree.

Cordwainer Smith
Arkady Strugatsky
Stanisław Lem
Brian W. Aldiss
Samuel R. Delany

Only Lem is known to me by name, I will check out the other authors you recommend.
