Description
Lies, Inc. by Philip K. Dick is a dystopian science fiction novella that explores life in a security state and the blurring of reality and illusion. In this wry, paranoid vision of the future, overpopulation has turned cities into industrial anthills, with one corporation promising an escape to a colonized planet billed as paradise. The promotional films of happy crowds cheering their existence on Whale's Mouth are faked, but for those who want to experience it, the journey is long and uncertain. A neurotic man named Rachmael ben Applebaum decides to pilot a spaceship on the 18-year journey to see if anyone wants to return. This expanded version of Dick's earlier work offers a glimpse into his hallmark themes and style, making it a compelling read for fans of science fiction and those interested in exploring the darker side of human nature.
