Despre această carte electronică

From the mind of Philip K. Dick, the influential and visionary author behind blockbuster films like Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report, comes a captivating and suspenseful sci-fi short story, Human Is.

Originally published in 1955, this masterful tale of paranoia and psychological horror explores the consequences of space travel and the thin line between human and alien.

Venture into the heart of an interstellar mystery as we follow an emotionally battered wife, trapped in an abusive marriage. Her husband, a cold and cruel scientist, returns from a mission to the dying planet Rexor IV, seemingly changed for the better. Unbeknownst to her, an oppressed Rexorian has replaced her husband's psyche. Struggling with this newfound kindness, she is forced to confront her own humanity and unearth the truth behind her husband's transformation.

In this evocative and chilling story, Philip K. Dick expertly weaves together themes of identity, empathy, and alienation, drawing readers into a thrilling tale crafted with his trademark speculative fiction flair. Human Is is a must-read for any sci-fi enthusiast and a testament to Dick's status as a prolific master of pulp fiction, compelling readers to question what truly makes us human.
