Philip K. Dick's award-winning novel about drug addiction and dystopia, basis for the Keanu Reeves film.

A Scanner Darkly is Philip K. Dick's semi-autobiographical novel exploring drug addiction in a future American dystopia. Winner of the British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel, this acclaimed work inspired the Hugo Award-finalist film adaptation starring Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, and Robert Downey Jr. The novel captures a descent into the deep fears of a 24-hour consumer society, presenting a fascinating portrait of 1970s Californian counter-culture and intellectual and emotional collapse.
