  In the overcrowded world and cramped space colonies of the late 21st
  century, tedium can be endured through the use of the drug Can-D, which
  enables the user to inhabit a shared illusory world. When industrialist
  Palmer Eldritch returns from an interstellar trip, he brings with him a new
  drug, Chew-Z, which is far more potent than Can-D, but threatens to
  plunge the world into a permanent state of drugged illusion controlled by
  the mysterious Eldritch.

  THE THREE STIGMATA OF PALMER ELDRITCH is, by universal consent, one of his three key novels, and the book in which he first took his perennial interest in the fragile nature of reality to a new level of imaginative intensity.
