Featured Novel

The Game Players of Titan is a 1963 novel by Philip K. Dick that embodies all of the classic elements of a Dick novel, including a "post-apocalyptic setting, self destructive male characters, confusion as to what is real", etc. As the story goes, protagonist Pete Garden has just lost Berkeley and his wife, but he'll get a new one as soon as he rolls a three. It's all part of the rules of Bluff, the game that's become a blinding obsession for the last inhabitants of the planet Earth. But the rules are about to change--drastically and terminally--because Pete Garden will be playing his next game against an opponent who isn't even human, for stakes that are a lot higher than Berkeley.
