"Dr. Bloodmoney," Philip K. Dick

Hydrogen bomb apocalypse, psychic mutants and one man above it all, the last cohesive force of the entire human race, orbiting the Earth. I'd rank this among the greatest works of PKD, along with "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and "Ubik." Now, it's a little hard to follow first, but just pay close attention to it in the beginning so you can understand the fireworks later on.

Naming a phocemelus "Hoppy?" That's just sick. He really has my sense of humor.
