Philip K. Dick Boeken

Als lijfarts en vertrouweling van de zieltogende maar onmisbare Terraanse leider in de hopeloze, slapende oorlog tegen de reegs kreeg hij geheimen te horen die het leven er niet vrolijker op maakten. Gino Molinari, secretaris-generaal van de VN, is de verkozen dictator voor de duur van de oorlog, maar geniaal als hij is, heeft hij één fnuikend gebrek: hij beeldt zich allerlei ziekten in ... heel realistisch. Keer op keer sterft hij tijdens onderhandelingen met de verraderlijke bondgenoot van Alfa Centauri. Maar enkele uren later staat hij weer blakend van gezondheid voor de tv-camera's. Wat is zijn geheim? Alle listige streken kunnen schijnbaar niet voorkomen dat het van kwaad tot erger gaat. Of - zou een blik in de toekomst nog iets aan het naargeestige heden kunnen veranderen?

This Library of America volume features four captivating novels by Philip K. Dick: "The Man in the High Castle," "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch," "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?," and "Ubik." Each work showcases Dick's unique and imaginative storytelling.
