Weird Fiction Starter Pack

Fiction about weird drugs that induce weird states/make you do weird things

Ideally not drugs that exist irl with cool new sci-fi names slapped on them. We're looking for totally new kinds of pharmacology here! Exciting (and potentially scary)!!

Under construction!

Classics and must-reads of Science Fiction from the 1960s and 70s designated as part of the New Wave of that era.

Books that are unambiguously depicting the use of technology and societal change to create the most evil society-warping machinations imaginable. So naturally, someone with lots of money and not a lot of decency or empathy will misinterpret it and try to make it real. Yay!

Enter the dizzying mind of Philip K. Dick, one of the most prolific and impactful science fiction writers of all time, and explore paranoia, the nature of existence, and altered and simulated realities warped by technology and drugs.

Science fiction books in english published between 1960 and 1969 (going by when it was published as a book, generally).
