"Dr. Bloodmoney" is Philip K. Dick's darkly comic riff on "Dr. Strangelove," a look at how humanity gets along after the end of the world. This Nebula Award nominee has all the wild characters and twisty science fiction plotting that Dick fans know and love. "A masterpiece." Roberto Bolano What happens after the bombs drop? This is the troubling question Philip K. Dick addresses with "Dr. Bloodmoney," or "How We Got Along After the Bomb." It is the story of a world reeling from the effects of nuclear annihilation and fallout, a world where mutated humans and animals are the norm, and the scattered survivors take comfort from a disc jockey endlessly circling the globe in a broken-down satellite. And hidden amongst the survivors is Dr. Bloodmoney himself, the man responsible for it all. This bizarre cast of characters cajole, seduce, and backstab in their attempts to get ahead in what is left of the world, consequences and casualties be damned. A sort of companion to "Dr. Strangelove," an unofficial and unhinged sequel, Dick's novel is just as full of dark comedy and just as chilling."
