Dr. Bloodmoney is Philip K. Dick’s darkly comic riff on Dr. Strangelove, a glance at how humanity gets along following the end of the globe. This Nebula Honor nominee has all of the crazy personas and twisty technology fiction plotting that Dick supporters know and love.’A masterpiece.’ -Roberto BolañoWhat happens following the bombs drop? This is the troubling question Philip K. Dick addresses with Dr. Bloodmoney, or How We Got Along Following the Bomb. It is the tale of a global reeling from the effects of nuclear annihilation and fallout, a world where mutated human beings and animals are the norm, as well as the spread survivors take comfort from a disc jockey endlessly circling the globe in a broken-down satellite. And hidden amongst the survivors is definitely Dr. Bloodmoney himself, the person responsible for everything. This bizarre ensemble of characters cajole, seduce, and backstab in their tries to get ahead in what’s left from the globe, outcomes and casualties become damned. A sort of companion to Dr. Strangelove, an unofficial and unhinged sequel, Dick’s book is just as filled with dark comedy and just as chilling.
