Philip K. Dick - Lies Inc

A world where truth has been stretched so thin it’s barely recognizable, and reality itself feels like a negotiable surface. Interplanetary travel exists, but not in any stable sense, it’s tangled up in corporate manipulation, warped perception, and something closer to induced hallucination than reliable movement. Rachmael ben Applebaum sets out on what should be a straightforward journey, but almost immediately the path fractures, timelines blur, and nothing holds its shape long enough to trust.

What unfolds is one of Dick’s most disorienting dives into unstable reality. Layers of illusion stack on top of each other, identities slip, and the idea of a single, objective truth becomes harder to defend with each page. It’s chaotic, deliberately so, less about guiding the reader and more about pulling them into the same uncertainty as the characters. Beneath the confusion is a familiar core, control, perception, and the uneasy possibility that reality isn’t something you discover, but something that can be manufactured, edited, and sold.
