Book Details

Substance D - otherwise known as Death - is the most dangerous drug ever to find its way on to the black market. It destroys the links between the brain's two hemispheres, leading first to disorentation and then to complete and irreversible brain damage. Bob Arctor, undercover narcotics agent, is trying to find a lead to the source of supply, but to pass as an addict he must become a user, and soon, without knowing what is happening to him, he is as dependent as any of the addicts he is monitoring.

Philip K. Dick

1928 (Chicago) – 1982 (Santa Ana) See page of Philip K. Dick
Philip K. Dick (USA, 1928-1982) fue y es y será el escritor más revolucionario dentro la ciencia-ficción y alrededores. Sus ideas y tramas tan originales, sus exploraciones psico-interplanetarias y sus teorías cosmo-filosóficas -puestas en práctica en novelas como El hombre en el castillo, ¿Sueñan los androides con ovejas eléctricas?, Tiempo de Marte y Ubik, en su credo-manual de instrucciones La Exégesis, y en antológicos relatos- inspiraron a colegas-discípulos como Ursula K. Le Guin, William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, David Foster Wallace o Roberto Bolaño, y nutrido a filmes de Ridley Scott, Paul Verhoeven, Steven Spielberg y Richard Linklater.

Dick ha sido definido como "el Borges norteamericano", "el Jung marciano", "la respuesta psicotrónica a la Beat Generation", "el Charlie Parker Sci-Fi", "el Thomas Pynchon proletario", "el Lenny Bruce futurista", "una cruza de Franz Kafka con Italo Calvino" y "el Shakespeare de la literatura de anticipación". Pero siempre será y es y fue "el Philip K. Dick philipkdickiano".
