“It goes on, he thought. The internecine hate. Perhaps the seeds are there, in that. They will eat one another at last, and leave the rest of us here and there in the world, still alive. Still enough of us once more to build and hope and make a few simple plans.”

An incredible book and my new favorite PKD. The beginning is very scattershot, but the ending just has hit after hit of cosmic punches. I said "wow" aloud during the Childan section near the end. This is also PKD sprituality at its best too, i think.

I was excited for this book because I really liked the Amazon Prime show, but this book was not fun to read. It was slow and I didn't really care about the characters or what they were doing. Maybe I just didn't appreciate the politics or the subtleties

Really cool concept
4.5
Este libro es una maravilla. A través de una ucronía dentro de una ucronía, Philip K. Dick desarrolla un mundo paralelo en el que el Eje ha ganado la guerra y Japón y Alemania se han repartido el mundo. La gracia de esta novela coral no es solo la forma con la que Dick construye esta ucronía, sino la constante pregunta que tienen todos los personajes con la posibilidad de que la Segunda Guerra mundial la hubieran ganado los Aliados. La novela está perfectamente construida y tiene un final perfecto para la historia. Un premio Hugo totalmente merecido.
