I finished his collected works a few years ago, well worth the effort. I wish I knew a successor to the PKD mindfuck. I need to invest the time researching Japanese SF, as that seems to hold some promise. anyone know of other authors mixing philosophy and drugs and religion and politics well? (already finished Pynchon, and Burgess; Verne has some great political philosophy too. But PKD's harsh take just feels so visceral, I need more.

Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Lord of Light, Shockwave Rider. Not exactly what you're looking for but I would be remiss not to mention Book of the New Sun.
Hugely influential to these types of works is Starmaker.
