for someone's first PKD book I would probably recommend do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep

this is probably the most uncomfortable and unnerving read on this list and I don't think it's all that satisfying from a plot perspective but I do think it is very powerful and thought-provoking thematically

I think this book juggles a lot of different ideas and to mix metaphors I don't think all of them hit the bullseye but in the end this was definitely still a worthwhile and unique reading experience

if you're a fan of annihilation I would definitely recommend checking out roadside picnic or vice versa as I feel like roadsides picnic's Zone was definitely an influence on annihilations area X

I think this book is a great example of an author having a Clear Vision and then executing on that Vision I think the only minor criticism I would have is that I think I found this book more intellectually rewarding than I did emotionally

I ended up going with the three Stigmata Palma alrich because I think it's one of his most underrated it's one of my favorite of his and I think more people should give it a chance
