Riassunto

Pete Garden was a Bindman and one of the finest Game-players this side of Titan. His skill had already won him half of California and 18 wives, but was he good enough to take on the fanatical Game-players of Titan? From the author of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?".

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Philip K Dick was born in Chicago in 1928 and lived most of his life in California. He attended college for a year at Berkeley. Apart from writing, his main interest was music. He won the Hugo Award for his classic novel of alternative history, ‘The Man in the High Castle’ (1962). He was married five times and had three children. He died in March 1982.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Roaming the pristine landscape of Earth, cared for by machines and aliens, the few remaining humans alive since the war with Titan play Bluff to maximise the remote chance some pairings will produce a child. When Peter Garden, a particularly suicidal member of the Pretty Blue Fox game playing group, loses his current wife and his deed to Berkeley, he stumbles upon a far bigger, more sinister version of the game. The telepathic Vugs of Titan are the players and at stake is the Earth itself.
