Sobre este artículo
London, New York, Sydney and Toronto: White Lion Publishers Limited, [1974]. First British and First hardcover edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket with a touch of rubbing to corner tips and mild dust soiling to white background of rear panel. (16498). Octavo, boards. First published as a paperback original in the U.S. After a war between the United States and China, the survivors are mostly sterile and the eminent survivors play a game, introduced by aliens from Titan, which is a cross between monopoly and poker, in which real estate holding, possession of cities, and marriages are decided (which affects fertility).
Sinopsis
In this sardonically funny gem of speculative fiction, Philip K. Dick creates a novel that manages to be simultaneously unpredictable and perversely logical. Poor Pete Garden has just lost Berkeley. He's also lost his wife, but he'll get a new one as soon as he rolls a three. It's all part of the rules of Bluff, the game that's become a blinding obsession for the last inhabitants of the planet Earth. But the rules are about to change--drastically and terminally--because Pete Garden will be playing his next game against an opponent who isn't even human, for stakes that are a lot higher than Berkeley.From the Trade Paperback edition.
