Google Play eBook deal of the week: The Penultimate Truth
Google Play Books is running Philip K. Dicks' novel The Penultimate Truth for $3.99 (normally $9.99, I think). This book is available to read on the web, on mobile apps, or downloadable as Adobe DRM ePub and Adobe DRM PDF.
With the recent remake of Total Recall, I've seen several deals on Philip K. Dick. Looks like I have some reading to do... |

This is a very interesting book--and could currently be topical here for its clear influences on Hugh Howie's Wool series. Of course, you have to have a fairly high tolerance for PKD's style to make it all the way to the end

Thanks for the heads up. I collected PKD's books in the seventies and eighties when they were mostly out of print. I got most of them from in paperback from the used book store. They were in poor shape then. Now I'm recollecting them in ebooks, where they will last as long as the electrons do!
