In the riveting style that won accolades for The Adversary, Emmanuel Carrère's I Am Alive and You Are Dead, follows Philip K. Dick's strange odyssey from his traumatic beginnings in 1928, when his twin sister died in infancy, to his lonely end in 1982, beset by mystical visions of swirling pink light. / Fabulador, visionario, genio, profeta, chiflado, farsante, iluminado, psicótico, radical, drogadicto, paranoico... ¿Quién fue Philip K. Dick? De entrada, uno de los escritores de ciencia ficción más potentes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Pero no solo eso, porque su influencia se extiende mucho más allá del género. Su relevancia literaria radica en su capacidad de anticipar algunos aspectos inquietantes del mundo actual, y en la exploración de temas como el control de los individuos por parte del poder, los límites de lo humano, la potenciación sensorial mediante el uso de sustancias psicotrópicas... Y por otro lado está el Philip K. Dick persona y personaje: el tipo que vivió la efervescencia contracultural de California, consumió con fervor anfetaminas y LSD, se sentía espiado por los servicios secretos, oía voces de procedencia desconocida.
