Tillfälligt slut

The incredible story of Philip K. Dick’s robotic resurrection – and the android’s utterly Dickian ‘escape’ “This compelling tale of androids, paranoid authors, and research into AI has… an ending that could have been written by Dick himself.” The Guardian“This story is touching, absorbing, and, ultimately, an exploration of what it means to be human.” The Spectator “An instant classic of weird science.” Alex Boese
