A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick
In a dystopian future where the government wages war on drugs, undercover agent Bob Arctor is assigned to infiltrate a group of drug addicts. But as he becomes more entangled in their lives, Bob's own addiction to the highly addictive Substance D starts to blur the lines between reality and hallucination. As Bob's mental state deteriorates, he must navigate a world of paranoia, deception, and his own fractured identity, questioning the nature of truth and the consequences of his actions.
