work, such as The Philip K. Dick Reader, and has been translated into both German and French. In the 1983 copyright renewal for "Strange Eden" and other stories written by Dick, the publication date was listed as December 1955. SFFaudio, a speculative fiction website, has posited that this mistake places the story in the public domain as it did not contain the correct date and not renewed within the correct time period (1982) to extend copyright protections. An audiobook adaptation of the story, narrated by Kate Rudd, was released as part of the audiobook collection The Collected Stories of Philip K. Dick: Volume 1 in 2010, through Brilliance Audio. Themes Ellen Greenham has noted that "Strange Eden" contains the fantasy of an ideal represented by the cosmos, an ideal that "is ever expected and never found within the space-time of the universe". She states that the survey team encounters an Edenic world similar to their own, which makes the character of Captain Johnson uncomfortable as he is both aware of humanity's potential to degrade their environment as well as his awareness that "He may seek refuge in the desire for a pristine world in which to live, but he knows this is wishful thinking for something he has never had."
