C'était la première fois que je lisais un livre de cet auteur. J'ai aimé découvrir ce recueil de nouvelles, c'était intéressant.
Il faudrait que je tente un de ces romans par curiosité.

A story about a future world centuries after governments have been toppled world-wide. What passes for organization is this anarchist collective called 'The Agency'. Agents are sent to investigate rumors that a state still exists, a final hold-out of the hierarchical governments of centuries ago. They have been sent to destroy it.
4/5 stars. I was not aware that PKD was this outright political. I consider this now one of my favorite left-ish political sci-fi along with 'The Dispossessed' by Le Guin. The politics of nation-states as well as the use of espionage reminds me of the novel 'Europe in Autumn' by Dave Hutchinson.

Comme c'est souvent le cas, presque toujours, pour des recueils de nouvelles, des hauts et des bas, des bonnes et des moins bonnes. Un recueil tout de même bien intéressant dans son ensemble, qui mérite d'être lu et qui est fidèle aux oeuvres de science-fiction philosophique auxquels Philip K. Dick nous a habitués.
