I consider Ubik to be Dick's best work... so if you found it only "somewhat intriguing", I doubt you'll be any more pleased with anything else he wrote.
That said, if you are interested in reading more by him, of his books I can recommend:
- The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
- Martian Time-Slip
- Galactic Pot Healer
- Eye in the Sky
- the middle part of Lies, Inc
Some of his short stories:
- Beyond Lies the Wub
- Faith of Our Fathers
- cgh 4y agoI'd like to add Dr. Bloodmoney and A Scanner Darkly to your recommended list.
- jrumbut 4y agoIt's funny, I'm a big PKD fan and I didn't care for Ubik. I enjoyed the first half or so of VALIS immensely but my favorite of his is A Scanner Darkly. I think, in 2022, people will understand Scanner better than they used to or maybe it is on the verge of being outdated?
- pmoriarty 4y agoI didn't like A Scanner Darkly. I thought it was mediocre. VALIS was better, but not in the top tier of PKD's books, IMO.
