  Is Your Reality Real? Discover the Visionary Who Saw the Future Before It Happened.
  
  Philip K. Dick was the "Shakespeare of Sci-Fi," a writer who moved beyond spaceships and lasers to explore the fragile nature of existence itself. His work serves as a haunting mirror to our modern world, predicting a future of pervasive surveillance, simulated realities, and the blurring line between human and machine. This comprehensive collection brings together his most influential novels and stories, offering a journey into the deepest labyrinths of the human mind.
  
  Inside this monumental collection, you will explore:
  
  The Master of the Shifting Reality: Experience "Gnostic" sci-fi where the world around the protagonist begins to dissolve, revealing a darker, more complex truth hidden beneath the surface.
  
  The Anatomy of Artificial Consciousness: Delve into the profound ethical questions of what it means to be alive, exploring the empathy—and lack thereof—in both humans and their synthetic counterparts.
  
  Pre-Cyberpunk Dystopias: Witness the birth of the "High Tech, Low Life" aesthetic, featuring gritty urban landscapes, corporate overreach, and the struggle of the individual to remain sane in an insane world.
  
  Metaphysical Paranoia: Discover narratives where memory is untrustworthy, identity is a commodity, and the government or a higher power is always watching.
  
  Dick's influence is the DNA of modern cinema and thought, inspiring everything from Blade Runner to The Matrix. Whether you are seeking a mind-bending thriller or a philosophical meditation on the soul, this volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of modernist science fiction and speculative philosophy.

  In 1815, Timothy, Viscount Linwood—handsome, arrogant, privileged—never veers from the refined rules of his world. Cheerfulness and other unsavory emotions are for lesser persons.

After all, love is for lesser-mortals. But Fate intervenes and draws him to a vibrant woman who makes him want things he can never have. Can a pompous lord change enough to find redemption?

  Will a chain keep me captive or help set me free? 
   
   
   
  I was lucky to escape my last pack with nothing but a few scars—a cheap price to pay for my freedom. 
   
   
   
  It was supposed to be just another run to calm my wolf, but I wasn't going to ignore those cubs' screams for help—even if they were from a rival pack. What I didn't expect to find was a feral vampire, or the wolf who would change everything. 
   
   
   
  The Alpha who caught me is like all the others—all raging temper and muscles. And yet . . . his pack is different than mine. 
   
   
   
  But no matter how much my wolf cries 'mate', I need to break free. It's time I accept the truth: I don't belong anywhere. My wolf will never settle for anything less than she is, and no other wolf will accept what I am: 
   
   
   
  Different, an anomaly . . . A female Alpha. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
