SYNOPSIS: The 21st Century. It was a shifting, shadowy and extraordinary world...and very dangerous. Most people, as in the present, were content to survive and grab what little pleasure they could. But there were others who cunningly played the deadly game of world mastery...There was the incredible beauty who had ruled the White House for nearly a century, the world's last practicing psychiatrist, a psychokinetic pianist, the time traveler, the simulacra, and the "chuppers". THE SIMULACRA-a story of the future that only Philip K. Dick, the Hugo Award-winning author of Eye in the sky and Dr. Bloodmoney, could visualize. Like all his novels, it is an extraordinary experience.
