From Library Journal

Written in the late 1950s and early 1960s, these titles follow Dick's familiar theme that things and people are not quite what and who they seem, basically challenging reality. Though dead for 20 years now, Dick still is hugely popular among sf readers and Blade Runner nuts, so pop for these.

Product Description

Set in the middle of the twenty-first century, The Simulacra is the story of an America where the whole government is a fraud and the President is an android. Against this backdrop Dr. Superb, the sole remaining psychotherapist, is struggling to practice in a world full of the maladjusted. Ian Duncan is desperately in love with the first lady, Nicole Thibideaux, who he has never met. Richard Kongrosian refuses to see anyone because he is convinced his body odor is lethal. And the fascistic Bertold Goltz is trying to overthrow the government. With wonderful aplomb, Philip K. Dick brings this story to a crashing conclusion and in classic fashion shows there is always another layer of conspiracy beneath the one we see. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Anarchic energy, Jui 7 2004
Par Doug Mackey (Fairfield, IA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: The Simulacra (Paperback)
This is a grab bag of almost all the themes and character types found in Dick's other novels written in the early 60s. Everything is here: a repressive police state, a ruling elite in conflict with huge cartels, a charismatic cult leader, a fascinating and ruthless woman, time travel, psychic powers, Nazis, androids, emigration to Mars, and mind-manipulating media and simulacra. It shows that the way society appears to be structured is a complete fake, and that media manipulation conceals the real centers of power. Dick crowds more characters and different points of view into the anarchic pages of pages of this novel than in any of his other books. But it does not seem to go anywhere: it is a plunge into the deeper waters of Dick's universe, but without any clear re-emergence into the air. The energy is more frenetic than transformative. Such a tour de force lacks the impact of Dick's major works, though it is a dazzling ride. It's pure PKD.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another good mind-pounder from the sci-fi master, Déc 28 2003
Par Doug Bates (Silver Spring, MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire est de: The Simulacra (Paperback)
Another good mind-pounder from the sci-fi master. Although, occasionally you want to scream at the book, because he didn't foresee such simple everyday items as cellphones.

He did, however, foresee the day when the "health care" cartel would replace psychoanalysis with drugs, and the day when our national leaders would be recruited from the ranks of famous actors (including a famous actor who played the lead in a film adapted from a Philip K. Dick novel).

Plus, all the sci-fi authors of the 60s assumed we'd have colonies on the moon and Mars by now. Maybe the moon landings were faked after all ...

4.0étoiles sur 5 Prescient!, Déc 23 2002
Par Mac Tonnies (Kansas City, MO USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: The Simulacra (Paperback)
"The Simulacra" is probably the most convoluted, mystifying--and potentially dangerous--political thriller ever penned. With his trademark ear for dialogue and sensitivity to human foibles, Dick eviscerates authority in all of its guises, revealing levels of curruption and secrecy so vast and complex they transcend the comical. Along with such masterpieces as "Radio Free Albemuth" and "Time Out of Joint," "The Simulacra" is one of Dick's most effective conspiracy yarns, written with irony, insight and humor. As usual, Dick excels at evoking a world where nothing is as it seems and truth is the rarest of commodities. Vintage's reissue of this scathing novel couldn't have come at a better time.
