The discovery of mysterious gateway leads to a new world full of dangerous possibilities in this science fiction
tale from an iconic author.
When a repairman accidentally finds a parallel universe, everyone sees it as an opportunity, whether as a
way to ease Earth’s overcrowding, set up a personal kingdom, or hide an inconvenient mistress. But when a
civilization is found already living there, the people on this side of the crack are sent scrambling to discover
their motives. Will these parallel humans come in peace, or are they just as corrupt and ill-intentioned as the
people of this world?

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.
