The Simulacra

About “The Simulacra”

A 1964 novel by Philip K. Dick set on a ravaged Earth, where a fascist plotting a coup, a mind-playing composer, a First Lady who controls events, and the world's last practicing therapist become entangled with an underclass beginning to ask questions, aided by Loony Luke and his alien. The story combines time travel, psychotherapy, telekinesis, androids, and Neanderthal-like mutants amid layered conspiracies.
