Publisher Description
When Dr. Jim Parsons awakens after a car accident, he finds himself in a future populated almost entirely by
the young. But for the young to keep running the world, death is fetishized, and those who survive to old age are
put down. In such a world, Parsons - with his innate desire to save lives - is a criminal and an outcast. For one
revolutionary group, however, he may be just the savior they need to heal and revive their cryogenically frozen
leader. When he and the group journey to 16th-century California, what they find causes them to question what
they know about history and the underpinnings of their society. With the jarring immediacy of a car crash, Philip
K. Dick throws both the listener and the protagonist of Dr. Futurity into a bizarre future where healing is a crime
and youth rules.

About Philip K. Dick
Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) published thirty-six science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned toward deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and in 2007 the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
