Psychedelic best novel of Dick's is sadly out of print.

Phillip K. Dick's novel deals with the dueling theme of the perils of the modern media society and the psychedelic experience in this must read novel for science fiction fans. The novel is most likely unpublished today because of a few pages missing from the final manuscript; however the overall plot line remains intact. The story is set on a future Earth where one corporation controls the technology which can teleport people to a far away planet, billed as an ultimate paradise. The only problem is no one can ever teleport back. The story begins when someone discovers the films of happy crowds cheering their newfound existence sent back from the planet are faked -- the cheering and applause are "canned". The "unteleported" man and others decide to investigate, and invent a list of the various possible worlds that might await them at their destination. The psychedelic side of thing comes in later, and I don't want to ruin it for you, (although you quantum physics buffs might be able to make a guess), let's just say the twists and turns, from the author behind "Total Recall", are very original. This novel is not to be missed if you can find a tattered copy of the unabridged version at a used book store.
