The Golden Man

The Golden Man is a collection of fifteen short stories by Philip K. Dick, edited by Mark Hurst, each prefaced by a note from Dick on its origins and context. Originally published as a Berkley paperback original in 1980, it was the last collection of his short fiction issued during his lifetime. The title story, first published in 1954, follows a post-war government agency hunting human mutants, and imagines a successor to homo sapiens who navigates the future not by intelligence but by an instinctive ability to pre-perceive coming events, beautiful, wordless, and unkillable by conventional means. This Science Fiction Book Club edition is the first hardcover printing of the title.
