<p>De Sueños Geodesicos ha dicho Joe Haldeman: '…es amargo, sutil, exótico, único: ciencia ficción para el connaisseur verdadero'. En efecto, se trata de una antología inusual: como si la fantasía de recrear las dimensiones de la Tierra encerrara todas las perspectivas, temporales y psicologicas, de ella.</p><p>Ciencia ficción en estado puro, tiempos cuya inquietante familiaridad nos lo hacen inmediatos -desde el vampiro en el campo de concentración nazi hasta el presidente de Estados Unidos sin un pais que gobernar- en los que se desarrollan historias de generosidad, cariño o desesperación teñidas de escepticismo, pero que revelan que lo insólito no son las personas y sus comportamientos, sino las situaciones en que se encuentran.</p><p>Brillante o magistral son calificativos que ha merecido esta antología, a los que habría que añadir su variedad y densidad: pocas veces el sueño se ha revestido de tanta verosimilitud, ha resultado tan realmente temible.</p><p>Relatos:</p><p>Nacido por la mañana</p><p>La cena</p><p>Clemencia ejecutiva</p><p>Una mañana muy especial</p><p>Entre los muertos</p><p>Alivio</p><p>Bailando un lento con Jesús</p><p>El pacificador</p><p>La espuela</p><p>Las cadenas del mar</p><p>Un sueño al mediodía</p><p>Discípulos</p><p>Apres moi</p><p>Un reino junto al mar</p><
Valis es una historia de detectives en que Amacaballo Fat es el loco héroe que busca desesperadamente a Dios, y Dios un ser desaparecido y responsable del crimen definitivo. Esta deslumbrante narración trata de teología, de comunicaciones extraterrestres y de las conspiraciones que amenazan a la humanidad en un mundo en que la realidad se revela a través de un rayo láser de color rosa. En definitiva, Dick y su alter ego abren su mirada al porqué de nuestra existencia, a la presunta benevolencia de Dios y al futuro del universo.<
