Philip K. Dick was pretty much the third classic SF guy after Clarke and Asimov in SF translated to Finnish, with Heinlein being almost unknown here. Dick’s stuff is clever and consistently off-kilter in some way, and often somehow tied to the 60′s counterculture. A big theme is identity and reality breaking down in some way. The Man in the High Castle, Ubik, A Scanner Darkly and VALIS are good. The short stories are also full of all sorts of weirdness.
