Sinopse
Características

Philip K. Dick didnt predict the future-he summoned the desperate bleakness of our present directly from his fevered paranoia. Dick didnt predict the Internet or iPhones or email or 3D printers, but rather he so thoroughly understood human nature that he couldalready see, even at the advent of the transistor,the way technology would alienate us from each other and from ourselves. He could see usisolated and drifting in our own private realitieseven before we had plugged in our ear buds. He could see, even in the earliest days of spaceexploration, how much of our own existence remained unexplored, and how the great black spaces between people were growing even asour universe was shrinking.Philip K. Dick spent his first three years as a science fiction author writing shorter fiction, and in his lifetime he composed almost 150 short stories, many of which have gone on to beadapted into (slightly watered down) Hollywood blockbusters. Collected here are thirteen of his most Dickian tales, funhouse realities with trap doors and hidden compartments, the literary equivalent of optical illusions, tricks ofperspective.
