Surprised no one recommended "the Man in the High Castle" it's how he won the Hugo Award! The alternate recent-history setting is unique & the character arcs were determined by random I Ching passages (It somehow works). Like most of his writing, it is significantly better than the Hollywood adaption which took the setting and completely re-imagined the characters & plot.

Such a shame that such a great book had to have such a lousy ending.

Yeah unfortunately endings were never a strong point in PKD's works but that doesn't stop them from being great!
