Considerado el “paranoico de los paranoicos” y el “Shakespeare en anfetas de Estados Unidos”, Philip Kindred Dick llevó a la ciencia ficción a las ligas mayores, con una prolífica obra que comenzó a escribir en la década del cincuenta, encontró su mejor forma y reconocimiento en los sesenta y alcanzó un extraño formato iluminado y vanguardista durante la década del setenta. Comparado con Kafka, Joyce e incluso Jorge Luis Borges por la crítica francesa, fue casi ignorado en su tierra, salvo por los elogios que derramaban sobre él sus colegas de género, que lo consideraban como uno de los mejores del ramo. “Dentro de cincuenta o cien años, Dick será reconocido en retrospectiva como el mejor novelista norteamericano de la segunda mitad del siglo XX”, escribió sin tapujos el británico Norman Spinrad en el prólogo de una de sus novelas. El presente libro reúne por primera vez en español sus ensayos literarios, escritos autobiográficos, cartas, discursos y diversas entrevistas realizadas entre la década del sesenta y principios de los ochenta. Tapa rústica con solapas Páginas: 408

Philip K. Dick was born in Chicago in 1928 and lived most of his life in California. In 1952, he began writing professionally and proceeded to write numerous novels and short-story collections. He won the Hugo Award for the best novel in 1962 for The Man in the High Castle and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best novel of the year in 1974 for Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said. Philip K. Dick died on March 2, 1982, in Santa Ana, California, of heart failure following a stroke. In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote approximately 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. Although Dick spent most of his career as a writer in near-poverty, ten of his stories have been adapted into popular films since his death, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next, Screamers, and The Adjustment Bureau. In 2005, Time magazine named Ubik one of the one hundred greatest English-language novels published since 1923. In 2007, Dick became the first science fiction writer to be included in The Library of America series.
