	Encyclopedia: The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
		The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is a typically complex novel by the science fiction writer Philip K. Dick.
		Palmer Eldritch, a man who brought the drug back from the Prox star system, may have ulterior motives involving the God-like powers that Chew-Z seems to grant him - as well as total control of humanity - since everyone who tries Chew-Z seems to hallucinate visions that include him and eventually becomes him.
		The "three stigmata" refers to the symbols of the appearance of Palmer Eldritch: an artificial hand, artificial eyes (Jensen visor), and a deformed jaw containing steel teeth.

	Johan Svedjedal : Ergodic Nightmare
		The subject of this article is Dick’s novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch (1965), in which the protagonists use drugs to relive parts of their earlier lives and to alter choices they have made.
		The entire world offered by Palmer Eldritch seems to be imbued with something similar to what the textual theorist Espen Aarseth has called "ergodicity," the reader’s opportunity and duty to make non-trivial choices between different possibilities when he is navigating his way through the text.
		For tactical reasons, Palmer Eldritch pretends that the future and the past are impossible to alter (he wants to persuade Barney Mayerson to die in his place).

		Is Palmer Eldritch a new Messiah, with Chew-Z his Communion wafer?

	Consumer Economics
		Together, Leo Bulero and Palmer Eldritch symbolize the grotesque capitalist structures that epitomize the state of power to which civilization has come, and Dick’s monstrously grotesque representations of these structures bares their demonic aspects.
		For instance, Kim Stanley Robinson asserts, "The falling off of the second half of The Three Stigmata is not, therefore, caused by its content, as much as it is by formal shifts made by Dick—changes in form that are neither typical of Dick nor made necessary by the content of this particular novel" (61).
		This broken fellowship summons the demonic Eldritch, and the characters counter with measures as humble as Eldritch’s are hubric.

		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.
		In TSPE, Dick clearly suggests that the illusions provoked by the drugs are similar to the Holy Mysteries revealed during religious celebrations.

		Eldritch’s Chew-Z differs only from its predecessor by one order of magnitude, but this dissolution of category, where the border between hallucination and waking state is lost completely, is a step too far.
		Conversing with future humans, contemplating a plaque commemorating his victory of Eldritch, Bulero is viewed by the future humans as a phantasm, whilst up comes Eldritch in similar astral form, in the guise of a small dog, to show its’ cocked-leg distaste for such a memorial.
		Chew-Z permits Eldritch to reach the most innermost regions of the characters own minds, and in discovering Eldritch there, the final answer to the question of who and what Eldritch is will shock them both, and change the world forever.

		In a very real sense, Palmer Eldritch is nothing more than a high-tech fascist monster and the terror that he represents has its roots in the very banality of the lives of most of the people he comes to dominate.
		Eldritch is a powerful, motivated, morally ambiguous character that is only the "villain" because of his relation to the other characters (and the fact that he seems to be trying to take over humanity).
		His name is Palmer Eldritch, and at first he's simply a new competitor that the protagonist has to deal with; he's pushing a new kind of drug that's much more effective than the one our hero has been selling. Now, here's where things really start to get interesting.

	g-one: Palmer Eldritch and Agent Smith
		After finishing Dick's “The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch” today I felt that there was a similarity between the character Palmer Eldritch and Agent Smith from the Matrix trilogy.
		Eldritch multiplies via the consumption of the drug Chew-Z, while Smith invades, or takes over hosts while they are in the 'Matrix'.
		However there are marked differences in how the works manifest themselves in our world, which in both instances lead to questions regrading the stories that are being told and the possible futures that result.

		In the future, the earth is unbearably warm, people are being drafted to be sent to dreary colonies and Can-D is the drug of the moment, a substance which allows people to "translate" into layouts based on a doll called Perky Pat and basically experience a life that isn't theirs.
		Then Palmer Eldrich returns from outside the solar system with his new drug Chew-D which he claims will deliver immortality and show the nature of God.
		It starts to lose coherency toward the end as the reader begins to question reality, especially what is the nature of Palmer Eldrich (great name, by the way) and eventually you find your head starting to hurt just a bit.

		In the colonies of the 21st Century the tedium and hardship of existance is helped by the drug Can-D, which allows users to inhabit a shared illusory world.
		Palmer Eldritch is an industrialist returning from an interstellar voyage who brings with him a new, alien drug, Chew-Z, which is several times more powerful than Can-D. So powerful, in fact, that it may wipe out reality entirely, leaving all under the control of Eldritch.
		A recommendation is surely a case of preaching to the converted but, just in case there are still SF readers who haven't yet encountered Phil Dick, for your own pleasure please do so soon.
