The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike - Thryft

Eccentric teeth reveal a town's environmental problem.

The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike is a cleverly crafted science-fiction novel, with a witty undertone that showcases Dick's ability to blend social commentary with fantastical concepts. The book's most notable feature is its ability to satirize the American dream, exploring themes of capitalism and status through the lens of a seemingly trivial discovery. With the book possessing a unique perspective and a sharp wit, it's an excellent read for science-fiction fans or those interested in exploring the humorous side of social commentary in literature.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike was written by Philip K. Dick in the winter and spring of 1960, in Point Reyes Station, California. In the sequence of Dick's work, it was written immediately after Confessions of a Crap Artist and just before The Man in the High Castle , the Hugo Award–winning science fiction novel that ushered in the next stage of Dick's career.This novel, Dick said, is about Leo Runcible, "a brilliant, civic minded liberal Jew living in a rural WASP town in Marin County, California." Runcible, a real estate agent involved in a local battle with a neighbor, finds what look like Neanderthal bones in Marin and dreams of rising real estate prices because of the publicity. But it turns out that the remains are more recent, the result of an environmental problem polluting the local water supply.
