No entiendo el hype de este libro. La premisa es mucho mбs interesante e imaginaba algo completamente diferente. Aquн nos encontramos con varios personajes que viven su dнa a dнa y ya. Si te interesa saber cуmo vivirнa un joyero, un coleccionista de memorabilia americana etc en una historia alternativa del mundo, adelante.

After watching the TV series I wanted to read the book. The book however lacks a lot of intrigue that other PKD books have, I was highly disappointed.

The style of this book is so odd. Love the story, fascinating conceptually - but it reads a lot like Hamlet and that wasn’t what I was expecting.

That being said - I cheated and watched the show first so I guess my opinion is moot.
