Lies, Inc. -- Philip K. Dick

A masterwork by Philip K. Dick, this is the final, expanded version of the novella <i>The Unteleported Man</i>, which Dick worked on shortly before his death. In <i>Lies, Inc., </i> fans of the science fiction legend will immediately recognize his hallmark themes of life in a security state, conspiracy, and the blurring of reality and illusion.</p></p>In this dystopian vision of the future, overpopulation has turned cities into cramped industrial hothouses. For those sick of their depressing reality, one corporation, Trails of Hoffman, Inc., promises an alternative: Take a teleport to Whale's Mouth, a colonized planet billed as the supreme paradise. The only catch is that you can never return. When a neurotic man named Rachmael ben Applebaum discovers that the promotional films of happy crowds cheering their newfound existence on Whale's Mouth are faked, he decides to pilot a spaceship on the eighteen-year journey there to see if anyone wants to come back.</p></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Philip K.
