Barton plays it cool and Peter ends up giving away more of his secrets than he probably intended to. It should be intellectually entertaining and imaginative. He had given away too much information.

Antonio Rodríguez Babiloni Biografía: Philip. K. Dick (1928-1982) Nació prematuramente, junto a su hermana gemela Jane, el 2 de marzo 1928, en Chicago. Jane murió trágicamente pocas semanas después. La influencia de la muerte de Jane fue una parte dominante de la vida y obra de Philp K. Dick. El biógrafo Lawrence Sutin escribe; ...El trauma de la muerte de Jane quedó como el suceso central de la vida psíquica de Phil Dos años más tarde los padres de Dick, Dorothy Grant y Joseph Edgar Dick se mudaron a Berkeley. A esas alturas el matrimonio estaba prácticamente roto y el divorcio llegó en 1932, Dick se quedó con su madre, con la que se trasladó a Washington. En 1940 volvieron a Berkeley. Fue durante este período cuando Dick comenzó a leer y escribir ciencia ficción. En su adolescencia, publicó regularmente historias cortas en el Club de Autores Jovenes, una columna el Berkeley Gazette. Devoraba todas las revistas de ciencia-ficción que llegaban a sus manos y muy pronto empezó a ser influido por autores como Heinlein y Van Vogt.

  • Psychological Terror and Social Fears in Philip K. Dick's Science Fiction
    Belphégor Giuliano Bettanin Psychological Terror and Social Fears in Philip K. Dick's Science Fiction As it developed during the twentieth century, the genre of science fiction has often used themes belonging to horror literature. In point of fact, these two genres have a good deal in common. Most obviously, science fiction and horror share a fantastic background and a detachment from the probabilities of realistic fiction. Also, the birth of science fiction is closely connected to the development of the gothic novel. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which is commonly considered proto-science fiction, also represents a nineteenth-century development of the gothic novel. In addition, Herbert George Wells, whose work lies at the basis of modern science fiction, wrote at least one gothic novel, The Island of Doctor Moreau.1 The fusion of horror and science fiction has often generated figures of terrifying and evil aliens, robots that rebel against their human creators, and apocalyptic, post-thermonuclear-global-war scenarios. In this brief essay I shall analyze the ways in which Philip K. Dick incorporated horror themes into his oeuvre and the highly original results he obtained by mingling the two genres. For this purpose I shall discuss several of his short stories and his early novel Eye in the Sky. Besides the already mentioned motifs of the alien, the rebel robot and the atomic holocaust, Dick develops a mystical-religious motif as he explores a number of metaphysical problems that are strictly connected to his most characteristic interest in epistemological questions. From the moment of the publication of his first short stories and novels in the 1950s, Dick became one of the most representative authors of American social science fiction.

    SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY PUBLISHED BY ACE BOOKS (1953-1968) Compiled by: DICK SPELMAN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY PUBLISHED BY ACE BOOKS (1953-1968) Compiled by: DICK SPELMAN Published by: INSTITUTE FOR SPECIALIZED LITERATURE Post Office Box 4201 North Hollywood, California 91607 Copywrite - 1976 FORWARD The following listing of the alpha-numeric ACE BOOKS has been compiled in three parts: Part 1 - Listing by Publisher’s Number Part 2 - Listing by Author Part 3 - Listing by Title The data contained in the listing has been checked carefully against the actual books and has been proofread three time; I am certain that there are still some typing errors, however. I believe that the listing is complete and I can authenticate every entry from my own collection. There may be arguments, however, concerning some of the titles that I chose to include or exclude. Considering the importance of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Andre Norton to ACE BOOKS, I have included all of their titles, regardless of the science fictional content. On the other hand, I have excluded most of the STAR ("K") series, Asimov’s Is Anyone There? (N-4) and Lupoff’s biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs (N-6) on the basis that they are not science fiction. The system that I have used for alphabetizing is based on the first signif­ icant word, and any punctuation is disregarded. Therefore, "Moondust" (one word) is shown later in the listing than "Moon Maid" (two words), and "Game-Player" is considered a single word. I have been assisted greatly in making this listing by Don Kramer and Marty Massoglia, both members of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society.
