In the overcrowded world and cramped space colonies of the late twenty-first century, tedium can be endured through the use of the drug Can-D, which enables the user to inhabit a shared illusory world.

But when industrialist Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new drug, Chew-Z, which is far more potent than Can-D. But could the permanent state of drugged illusion it induces be part of something much more sinister?

Drugs and what is real

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 12 gennaio 2021

This is a very good novel by Dick. It is overly long however. A good third could have been eliminated without doing harm. I am not a SCI FI fan. Most SCI FI is formula plagued. Dick is different.

One of Philip K Dick's Best

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 9 marzo 2011

"In the overcrowded world and cramped space colonies of the late 21st century, tedium can be endured through the use of the drug Can-D, which enables the user to inhabit a shared illusory world. When industrialist Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new drug, Chew-Z, which is far more potent than Can-D, but threatens to plunge the world into a permanent state of drugged illusion controlled by the mysterious Eldritch."
-- from the back cover

Written in 1964 and published the following year, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch (Philip K Dick's sixteenth published novel), deals with a number of the themes that dominate his work (pre-cognition, the nature of reality, drugs etc..). As with all PKD's works this novel is packed with ideas that make you marvel at his imagination but also (if you are of a philosophical turn of mind) bring you to question and consider the themes he raises for yourself. PKD also creates characters that I at least find believable. As Ursula Le Guin has said "There are no heroes in Dick's books, but there are heroics. One is reminded of Dickens: what counts is the honesty, constancy, kindness and patience of ordinary people." PKD's characters always strike me as in some way authentic.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1965.

"I am afraid of that book [The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch]; it deals with absolute evil, and I wrote it during a great crisis in my religious beliefs. I decided to write a novel dealing with absolute evil as personified in the form of a "human." When the galleys came from Doubleday I couldn't correct them because I could not bear to read the text, and this is still true."
-- Philip K Dick

"The worlds through which Philip Dick's characters move are subject to cancellation or revision without notice. Reality is approximately as dependable as a politician's promise."
--Roger Zelazny in Philip Dick: Electric Shepherd (1975), Bruce Gillespie, ed.

If you are new to Philip K Dick's work I would also recommend the novels (which generally seem to be regarded as among his best):

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?: The novel which became 'Blade Runner' (S.F. Masterworks)
Ubik (S.F. Masterworks)
A Scanner Darkly (S.F. Masterworks)
The Man In The High Castle (S.F. Masterworks)
Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said (S.F. Masterworks)

That said, though some of PKD's works are better than others, to my mind they are all well worth reading. I would also recommend his short story collections:

Beyond Lies The Wub: Volume One Of The Collected Short Stories
Second Variety: Volume Two Of The Collected Short Stories
The Father-Thing: Volume Three Of The Collected Short Stories
Minority Report: Volume Four Of The Collected Short Stories
We Can Remember It For You Wholesale: Volume Five of The Collected Short Stories

A Remarkable Feat

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 14 dicembre 2013

Acquisto verificato

This book is set in a future where Earth is too hot for the inhabitants and people are (rather dubiously) having to 'evolve' to be trendy and seen as important and score business contracts. Instead of people receiving psychiatric help to make themselves better, people instead receive it to make themselves 'unfit', so they don't have to go and live in 'hovels' on Mars, where religion and hopelessness go hand in hand. Set against this backdrop, two drugs are competing and trying to win the most 'users' - these drugs are Can-D and Chew-Z. One drug is illegal and can be taken in a communal manner, with a 'layout' and 'minned' props for the fantasy, and the other drug appears to have UN sanction but works on an individual basis (with Eldritch able to inhabit the realm also)....

Sometimes an author tries so hard to be ambitious that the heart of the story sinks in the process, like a disastrous souffle that had all the right ingredients and went into the oven for the correct amount of time, but somehow came out soggy and collapsed despite the diligence. Happily, this book is not one of those books - it is rich and complex through and through and, for those that like that sort of thing, you could happily analyse it until the cows come home. Indeed, even when the book slips into a hearty chunk of character led exposition at the end, it is done in such a layered and textured way that despite certain key symbols being given to the reader (e.g. what constitutes the three stigmata), more questions are only opened up as a result.

A novel about sanity, despair and religion. A masterpiece.

Accessible and still relevant today

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 9 aprile 2016

I was recommended this book by one of the contributors of the Journey Planet fanzine. It is one of P K Dick's most accessible books, but it also works on many levels, one of those books that really makes you question how society works, and your place within it.

It's incredible (and slightly unnerving), to think that such an insightful, and prescient narrative was written in the sixties, and yet is so pertinent to the time we live in, with the comparisons of Virtual Reality, drugs and religion.

I think this is a great introduction to Philip K. Dick, and a banner for the visionary style and thoughts of such an influential writer.

P.K. Dick does it again. Messes with your head

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 21 giugno 2014

Acquisto verificato

I really enjoyed this. I liked the complex fast moving plot. It's the future, of course or A future, if you like, on a dangerously warming Earth or Terra. There are pre-cogs; intellect enhancing but risky medical procedures and an entire industry dedicated to providing distractions for off world colonists, drafted to go and seed any slightly viable planets in the solar system. It's a dreary life and the central theme revolves around the rivalry of the suppliers of an established but illegal hallucinogen can-D and a newer product, chew-Z, probably also illegally brought in from outside the system by Palmer Eldritch. But who or what is Palmer Eldritch? And what is really happening when the first people try the new drug? The nature of reality, time and God are called into question and, as you might expect if you have read any other P. K. Dick, you won't really be sure what's going on at all, not even when you get to the end! Modern sci-fi in all it's formats, owes a lot to PKD but nothing else messes with your mind in quite the same way as this author's work. Love it.

Among Dick's most experimental novels, but ultimately unsatisfying.

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 9 luglio 2020

Acquisto verificato

Too complicated even for a novel by Ph.K. Dick. Dick is trying to tackle several themes here and the result is too convoluted. The first half of the novel gives the impression that Dick intended to write a science-fiction adventure. The second half, instead, focuses on philosophical questions and religion themes, together with certain effects of reality-altering drugs. As a result, there is a lack of continuity, with one of the major characters completely dropped out from the main storyline. Among Dick's most experimental novels, but ultimately unsatisfying.
