Read by Paul Giamatti.

Cops and criminals have always been interdependent, but no novel has explored
that perverse symbiosis more powerfully than A Scanner Darkly. Bob Arctor is
a dealer of the lethally addictive drug called Substance D. Fred is the police
agent assigned to tail and eventually bust him. To do so, he has taken on the
identity of a drug dealer named Bob Arctor. And since Substance D - which
Arctor takes in mammoth doses - gradually splits the user's brain into two
distinct, combative entities, Fred doesn't realize that he is narcing on
himself.

Caustically funny, eerily accurate in its description of junkies, scam artists,
and the nwalking brain-dead, Philip K. Dick's industrail-grade stress test of
identity (both his characters' and the listener's) may be the most unnerving
drug novel ever written.
