A Maze of Death is a 1970 science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. The story is set on a mysterious planet where a group of individuals are awaiting instructions for a mission that never arrives, leading them into a paranoid unraveling of reality and the nature of God. As typical of Dick's work, the novel explores themes of theology, cognitive dissonance, and the subjective nature of reality.
