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?

-- 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

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.

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.
