I take it either not many people know who Philip K. Dick is or don't know about Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Well that's what I voted for.

PKD is (in my never humble opinion) one of the very few "sci-fi" authors that is worth bothering with, a remarkable writer with a vast and assured grasp of language.
I ask because I listened to Joss Acklands audiobook reading of Screwtape on my flight a few weeks back and it's worth a listen, Joss has this great booming gravely voice that does the material proud.
Also - you might want to try "Screwtape proposes a toast" - the not-quite-really-a-sequel.
