Philip K. Dick

Is Your Reality Real? Discover the Visionary Who Saw the Future Before It Happened.

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.

Raakshasa the Demon

Pritesh Chakraborty

Gods and demons had always fought amongst themselves according to Hindu Mythology. This story presents that universal conflict between good and evil, problematizing the very concepts of good and evil. It challenges the dominant discourse of the gods (representing the upper caste, aristocratic, capitalist class of the society) that they were the up keepers of law and the rakshshas were the miscreants. This story oscillates between an epic past and contemporary times but is more dominantly set in modern sub urban landscape of the present decade. The age old battle plays out in the modern city/mofussil backdrop and involves angles of love, revenge and betrayal.

The Third Gate Part 1 is the first in the Amercian Isekai series. Some people found the first edition to be long from chapter to chapter.
