- Dr. Bloodmoney is perhaps Philip K. Dick's most humane novel. In post-apocalyptic Marin County the inhabitants struggle to survive and re-create a community in the aftermath of nuclear war.

Lyrical and compassionate, this mesmerizing tale brims with humanity and hope in the bleakest of circumstances.
