 I'm writing this right now and I just love how PKD leaves so much space for the reader's mind to fill in. He also attempts difficult writing tasks, for instance, having a main character that repeatedly passes out, hallucinates, and has blocks of his memory erased. A complex tale + an easy-to-read writing style = excellent work!

 Philip K Dick was a man with many personal demons, and he wasn't averse to exploring them in his work. The Game-Players of Titan is a study in paranoia, and it reads somewhat like a nightmare put to page. http://www.theyowie.com.au/2008/04/19/the-game-players-of-titan-by-philip-k-dick-book-review/#more-415

 Classic Philip K. Dick style read, set in a dystopic future where the world is underpopulated and cannot easily reproduce. Odd telepathic aliens poke around as humans vie for vast territories through a poker-like game that determines history. Pretty entertaining and crazy overall.

 Dick was a mentally plaugued man, and his unique affliction was a sort of hyper-perception. This story is not nearly so dark as some others, but the idea of a doomed world whose final inhabitants jockey for position and status in a silly, dishonest, and rigged game is not just a fine science fiction story, it's also pure, venomous allegory. PKD's insight was a penetrating and radioactive Xray. It burned the world and eventually it fried him alive. Genius as curse.
