Where to start: "The Man in the High Castle" (1962) is an alternative history in which the Axis powers have won World War II and includes a book, banned in America, that posits an alternative history in which Hitler lost. The novel won a Hugo Award and, like much of Dick's work, plays with perception and competing realities.
Where to start, alternative version: "Ubik" (1969) is a mystery wrapped in a horror story told by a (probably) dead man. It has psychic intrigue, government interference, half-alive cryonically frozen characters and a crumbling reality. See also: competing realities, untrustworthy perception.
But then quickly move deep into the stupid with this recommendation:
What to skip: "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (1968). Although it served as the inspiration for the film "Blade Runner," the novel is not the same, nor nearly as good.
