Además de novelista, Philip K. Dick fue un prolífico autor de cuentos, muchos de los cuales han sido llevados al cine en los últimos tiempos. Él mismo reunió su producción breve en cinco volúmenes que recuperamos en una edición revisada. Esta primera entrega recoge 25 relatos escritos entre 1951 y 1952, auténticas joyas literarias que destilan la magia propia de Dick y donde quedan patentes sus constantes obsesiones: la muerte, la alienación, la locura, la religión y la represión, y la naturaleza esquiva de la realidad.
