Eye in the Sky, first published in 1957, is a Philip K. Dick science‑fiction tale in which eight people are plunged into a series of alternate universes following an accident at the Belmont Bevatron.

The title alludes to the eye of God, embodied by a religious fundamentalist character named Arthur Sylvester. The novel critiques human foibles while touching on theological themes and the pervasive anxieties of its era.
