What the hell?
Five SF works about mind-altering drugs and NOT A SINGLE ONE from Philip
K. Dick. At LEAST you could have added Deus Irae.
Perhaps, being aware that PK Dick had problems selling his work once
/Dangerous Visions/ tagged him as a druggee (or so I have read ...
somewhere), James Nicoll was merely being kind.
That said, /A Scanner Darkly/ was quite interesting. As novel and as
film.
