A SCANNER DARKLY
PHILIP K. DICK
Dick is Thoreau plus the death of the American dream. Roberto Bolano u003cbru003eBob Arctor is a junkie and a drug dealer, both using and selling the mind-altering Substance D. Fred is a law enforcement agent, tasked with bringing Bob down. It sounds like a standard case. The only problem is that Bob and Fred are the same person. Substance D doesn t just alter the mind, it splits it in two, and neither side knows what the other is doing or that it even exists. Now, both sides are growing increasingly paranoid as Bob tries to evade Fred while Fred tries to evade his suspicious bosses.u003cbru003eIn this award-winning novel, friends can become enemies, good trips can turn terrifying, and cops and criminals are two sides of the same coin. Dick is at turns caustically funny and somberly contemplative, fashioning a novel that is as unnerving as it is enthralling. u003cbru003eOver a career that spanned three decades, Philip K. Dick (1928 1982) wrote 121 short stories and 45 novels, establishing himself as one of the most visionary authors of the twentieth century. His work is included in the Library of America and has been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Eleven works have been adapted to film, including u003ciu003eBlade Runneru003c/iu003e (based on u003ciu003eDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?u003c/iu003e), u003ciu003eTotal Recallu003c/iu003eu003ciu003e, u003c/iu003e u003ciu003eMinority Reportu003c/iu003eu003ciu003e, u003c/iu003e and u003ciu003eA Scanner Darklyu003c/iu003eu003ciu003e.u003c/iu003e u003cbru003e"
