New Worlds was the influential British science fiction magazine edited by Michael Moorcock that became the flagship publication of the New Wave movement in science fiction. John Brunner, author of Stand on Zanzibar and The Sheep Look Up, was one of the leading British science fiction writers of his generation. His 1966 article on Dick is significant as an early piece of critical attention from a respected peer, published during a period when Dick's reputation in the United Kingdom was growing faster than in his home country. The article predates most academic scholarship on Dick and represents the kind of serious critical engagement within the SF community that helped build his literary reputation.
