Philip K. Dick - Galactic Pot-Healer

Galactic Pot-Healer is a quirky, offbeat journey through a fragmented, cosmic universe where nothing is quite what it seems. The protagonist, Joe Fernwright, is a lowly, out-of-work pot-healer—a profession where people repair broken pottery—but his life takes an unexpected turn when he’s recruited by the mysterious and powerful Man, a being who seems to control all the laws of the galaxy.

Fernwright is tasked with restoring a sacred, ancient artifact on a distant planet, but the mission is complicated by bizarre aliens, enigmatic rituals, and a group of equally strange colleagues. As Fernwright navigates the chaos, Dick spins a tale of spiritual awakening, the absurdity of existence, and the boundaries between the mundane and the metaphysical. It’s a strange but compelling mix of existential exploration, quirky humor, and a deep dive into the mystery of what it means to fix—or break—the universe.
