Dr. Bloodmoney, a book by Phillip K. Dick, is a story set in a post-apocalyptic future that has been shaken to its core by nuclear attacks that killed millions and left even more "sports", or mutated humans and animals, dwelling in all radioactive areas. The novel is one of Phillip K. Dick's most acclaimed novels, filled with some of his most memorable characters, such as 'Hoppy' Harrington, the megalomaniacal sport with the ability to manipulate objects with his mind.
