Simulacra

In the middle of the 21st century, the government of the USAE (United States of America and Europe) is a fraud, and its president, an android; there is only one psychoanalyst left on the face of the Earth, plagued with mentally ill patients, and humanity has suffered an evolutionary regression that has originated a new race of Neanderthals. This disturbing panorama parades such unusual characters as a pianist who plays without hands and a Göring rescued from the past to attack his Führer. With his usual waste of imagination and irreverence, Dick has created an astonishing political thriller set in a world where nothing is what it seems, offering us a radical vision of the future that we could be carving for ourselves. A novel full of insight, vivacity and literary genius.
