031- Part 1- The Unteleported Man, by Philip K. Dick, 1964
Wherein the heir to a bankrupt spaceship company decides to go on an interstellar voyage!
Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in Indiana, India, where they're discussing the 1964 novella, "The Unteleported Man" by Philip K. Dick. This story is pulled from an Ace Double-Book, and is the originally-published version of what would eventually be called "Lies Inc.", which has a few extra chapters.
Philip K. Dick is one of science fiction's most illustrious authors, and Ruiz Tremello's favourite story by him is "The Penultimate Truth", though "Radio Free Albemuth" was also delightful. Honestly though, just keep reading his books; and other people's books, and lots of all the books!
