En 2054, grâce à l'agence gouvernementale Précrime, le monde est devenu plus sûr : les criminels sont arrêtés et jugés avant d'avoir commis leur forfait.
Mais un jour John Anderton, un agent de Précrime, se retrouve accusé du futur meurtre d'un homme qu'il n'a même jamais rencontré. Pour prouver son innocence, il devra mettre la main sur le rapport minoritaire. Adapté au cinéma par Steven Spielberg, ce texte est suivi de Souvenirs à vendre, porté à l'écran par Paul Verhoeven sous le titre Total Recall. Deux nouvelles qui nous plongent dans l'univers de l'un des écrivains de science-fiction les plus talentueux du XXe siècle.
"The single most resonant and carefully imagined book of Dick's career." - New York Times It's America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In San Francisco, the I Ching is as common as the Yellow Pages. All because some twenty years earlier the United States lost a war--and is now occupied by Nazi Germany and Japan.
This harrowing, Hugo Award-winning novel is the work that established Philip K. Dick as an innovator in science fiction while breaking the barrier between science fiction and the serious novel of ideas. In it Dick offers a haunting vision of history as a nightmare from which it may just be possible to wake.
