"This book gets to the heart of the matter. There's nothing mind-numbingly sweet about it. I loved it. I loved it. The censor, upon reading the novel, will go hysterical, but we'll get over it." - Philip K. Dick.
Los Angeles is divided into Rat City, home to the marginalized and the Liberation Front, and Orange County, home to the corporations and the well-fed bourgeoisie addicted to television. In between is the Interface, a neutral zone where Dr. Adder's girls roam, surgically modified according to the secret desires of his clients. E. Allen Limmit leaves his home ranch to experience a great adventure in the City of Angels. Setting out to meet the famous surgeon, he has no idea that he will soon find himself in the crossfire between the doctor and his nemesis John Mox, a TV preacher and head of the Moral Power Video Church in a city whose soul is as rotten as it is desperate... The book, extolled by Philip K. Dick, who tried unsuccessfully to get it published, saw the light of day only after the Master's death and became an instant classic. Written more than 10 years before William Gibson's Neuromancer, this novel heralded a wave of cyberpunk that would change science fiction forever. So many years after its publication, "Dr. Adder" has lost none of its brutality, fury, or relevance.
