"Choosy chewers cull Chew-Z!"

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is a 1965 science fiction novel by Philip Thou. Dick.

The plot begins as several people are having very bad days. Barney Mayerson, a precognative style market annotator with a disaster of a personal life, has learned he's been drafted for the Martian colonization try. This means leaving behind his life on World, and his cozy task at Perky Pat Layouts: producers of the popular Perky Pat line of collectables. Said items just happen to be perfect for guiding and enhancing a multiple-user sims-like feel past those using Can-D, a drug which induces a communal Virtual Reality-like hallucination.

His ex-wife Emily, meanwhile, learns that her attempt to sell her pottery designs to Perky Pat Layouts has been rejected, a conclusion which Barney had no involvement in any.

Leo Bulero, the head of the visitor Barney works for, has learned that rival businessman Palmer Eldritch has crash-landed on Pluto on his return from a trade mission with the aliens of the Prox system. Much to Bulero'due south dismay, Palmer not simply seems to have miraculously survived, he'south brought back a drug that allegedly makes Can-D seem like a cheap imitation. If true, the company's massive profits from both its official products and its off-the-books monopoly on Can-D could evaporate overnight.

From there things get increasingly weird in classic PKD fashion as the stakes slowly escalate far across financial concerns and personal relationships.

This novel contains examples of:

  • Escapism: Life on Mars is then soul-crushing the colonists lose themselves in simulacra of real life, acted out via a parody of Barbie dolls and copious amounts of drugs.
  • Evolution Power-Up: "Evolutionary therapy" is popular among the rich. It makes your cranium big and chimera-similar, and even increases your intelligence, although in rare cases it can backlash and de-evolve you into a monkey-like state. The best part? It works by stimulating the gland that controls development.
  • Fantastic Drug: "Tin-D" and "Chew-Z".
  • Goal-Oriented Development: "Evolutionary therapy" is pop amid the rich. It makes your cranium big and bubble-like, and increases your intelligence, although in rare cases it tin can backfire and de-evolve you into a monkey-similar land. The best part? It works by stimulating the gland that controls evolution. Still, evolution is at to the lowest degree somewhat affected by environment. The evolved people besides develop hard ridges on their heads to gainsay the intense heat of the Earth (which will kill any normal person who isn't literally carrying an air conditioner on his back). Later on, one character runs beyond people from the hereafter, who look more like The Greys because the Earth is undergoing an Ice Age.
  • Humanoid Abomination: What Palmer seems to have become or merged with at some point in his mission to contact an alien species.
  • Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: The Perky Pat dolls are an obvious reference to the then-five years old Franchise/Barbie.
  • Meaningful Proper name: Palmer Eldritch.
  • Mega-Corp: P. P. Layouts, Inc. has most-total control over the entertainment available to the Martian colonists, until Eldritch comes along to claiming them.
  • Mundane Utility: Two of the main characters are "pre-fash consultants", people with precognitive powers employed to find out whether or non diverse products will become fashionable before they're accepted for production.
  • Reality Drain: The drug "Chew-Z", discovered by Eldritch in the Prox arrangement, seems to accept this effect, although the book is deliberately cryptic.
  • Reality Warper: Palmer Eldritch. Perchance. Some readers have argued that he gives people drugs that let them feel all sorts of bizarre things while, incidentally, causing them to gain Palmer's physical characteristics and think more like him.
  • Recursive Reality: Information technology's an article of faith amongst many Martian colonists that the drug Tin-D does this, rather than merely causing shared hallucinations, equally most non-users believe. Things get much more than ambiguous when Eldritch brings an alien drug, Chew-Z, back from the Prox organization.
  • Ruby-red Correct Mitt: Palmer Eldritch has horizontally slitted metal eyes, metallic teeth and a mechanical right arm: all physical signs of his metaphysical transformation into something very other than human.
  • Schrödinger's Butterfly: The novel involves a plot to Take Over the Globe through hallucinogens that in theory could have a thousand years to wear off. Every chief character takes the drugs at ane point or some other, more than in one case a seeming recovery is merely hallucinated. By the end, it's virtually impossible to decide what'due south "real" and what's not.
  • Self-Plagiarism: The concept of the Perky Pat layouts used by the characters to escape their everyday lives is recycled from Dick's earlier short story "The Days of Perky Pat".
  • Sufficiently Advanced Conflicting: Palmer Eldritch.
  • The Virus: Palmer Eldritch distributes an exceptionally trippy drug with the side consequence of causing the users to think more like he does than they used to—and besides causes them to spontaneously develop Palmer's "three stigmata", which are artificial eyes, a metallic jaw, and a replacement arm.
