Synopsis
Jim Parsons is a talented doctor, skilled at the most advanced medical techniques and dedicated to saving lives. But after a bizarre road accident leaves him hundreds of years in the future, Parsons is horrified to discover an incredibly advanced civilization that zealously embraces death. Now, he is caught between his own instincts and training as a healer and a society where it is illegal to save lives. But Parsons is not the only one left who believes in prolonging life, and those who share his beliefs have desperate plans for Dr.Parsons' skills, and for the future of their society. Dr. Futurity is not only a thrilling rendition of a terrifying future but it is also a fantastic examination of the paradoxes of time-travel that could only have come from the mind of Philip K. Dick. Winner of both the Hugo and John W. Campbell awards for best novel, widely regarded as the premiere science fiction writer of his day, and the object of cult-like adoration from his legions of fans, Philip K. Dick has come to be seen in a literary light that defies classification in much the same way as Borges and Calvino. With breathtaking insight, he utlizes vividly unfamiliar worlds to evoke the hauntingly and hilariously familiar in our society and ourselves.

    Smug seller - communication was unnecessarily awful; Several ignored messages over a period of more than a week, before my offer was finally accepted. To add insult to injury, I was trying to buy this item bundled with another item in seller’s store for so long that ultimately the other item sold before my offer was responded to. Item arrived fine, but I would never do business with a seller like this again.

    An Original In His Own Time

    PKD was unique among writers in the genre. He seemed almost to have contempt for the technical props of science fiction. His focus is always on characters, one major character, dealing with a disorienting reality, and other characters, who are frequently not what they seem to be. I can't think of a single work in which this is not true.
