This book is pretty cool. What PKD should I read next

What the fuck happened at the end?

I used to read a lot of science fiction when I was younger, almost exclusively big classics that were available in the local libraries - Phillip K. Dick, Frank Herbert, Lem, Strugatsky brothers. Most of what I read would present bold ideas about technology, or use their vision of technology to present ideas about humanity. But that well eventually dried out and I haven't read much from the genre since those days.

Now I would love to get into some equally good sci-fi again, but most of the recommendations I see are the same books I used to read as a teenager. And curiously enough, mainstream sci-fi from other media - for example the recent Interstellar movie - is still unsuccessfully grappling with those same ideas that books used to explore to a much fuller extent in the 60s.

So my question is, what is some real quality science fiction from the last, say, 20 years? Can be hard sci-fi, some more philosophical musings or just story-driven novels, any sub-genre is fine as long as it's well written and interesting.

Pic is possibly my favorite old-school sci-fi novel.

Okay. I guess I'll just read some more Philip K. Dick then.

I read three books from him:
>Man in the High Castle
It wasn't bad.
Ubik
>It was good, but I expected much more after seeing how everybody loves it. It's basically an Agatha Christie novel written by PKD.
>Three stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
This was very, very good. One of my favourite sci-fi novels. Reading it was like listening to Pink Floyd. It's also PKD's favourite own novel, I believe.

I'm interested in VALIS because, they said it's similar to Palmer Eldritch. Can anyone confirm this?
