About the Author

Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) wrote 121 short stories and 45 novels and is considered one of the most visionary writers of the twentieth century. His work is included in the Library of America and has been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Eleven works have been adapted to film, including Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly. Jeff Cummings, Earphones Award winner for Melina Marchetta's FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK, brings over twenty years of acting experience to his narration. He notes James Mason's reading of Doyle's THE LOST WORLD as a major inspiration to his work as a narrator. Jeff currently calls Chicago home.
