Labirinto di morte
Labirinto di morte | Philip K. Dick
6 posts | 8 read | 9 to read
Quattordici persone, nevrotiche e alienate nel loro rapporto con il lavoro e con il mondo esterno, decidono di lasciare una Terra disumana e oppressiva e di partire per il pianeta Delmak-O. Per Ben Tallchief, dopo una vita fallimentare, sembra aprirsi un futuro di euforica comunione con gli altri; e cos anche per Seth Morley, insoddisfatto del suo lavoro. Ma allimprovviso il satellite delle comunicazioni viene distrutto e i quattordici umani si ritrovano da soli sul pianeta, in un crescendo di misteri, terrore e morte. La realt oggettiva vacilla, e lintero paesaggio sembra solo un inganno dei sensi, un fondale di cartapesta dove gli uomini si agitano come marionette mosse a caso da una divinit folle e imperscrutabile. Scritto nel 1968, Labirinto di morte affronta uno dei temi pi cari a Philip K. Dick: cosa reale e cosa non lo . Romanzo collettivo che sfocia a volte in un trattato filosofico, Labirinto di morte echeggia di quel pensiero religioso astratto e logico che sar per Philip K. Dick il vero e proprio motivo dominante nellultima sua opera, la Trilogia di Valis.

Been a while since I read some PKD, so giving this one a try

DrexEdit Is it bad that that cover design immediately made me think of murder hornets? Oh 2020, I'm so ready to be done with you! 😂 4y

just finished this beauty. 😍 another step in my long and wonderful #philipkdick journey. ❤️ which #PKD will i read next?! #myPKDjourney

Bookwomble I enjoyed this one. Somewhat similar to Eye in the Sky, if I remember correctly, which I might not be 🤔😆 6y
dystopianaut @Bookwomble i loved it! 🖤 my favorite PKD books are the ones where i think i have a pretty good grasp of what‘s going on, and then he throws in that last minute classic philip k dick twist and blows my mind. this book was one of those! and i haven‘t read eye in the sky yet but i‘ll have to soon! i just finished “now wait for last year”. 🖤 6y

As usual, PKD plays with his characters', and his readers', perceptions of reality. Written from the points-of-view of several characters, neither they nor we are really sure which, if any of them, is experiencing what is actually happening.

A group of strangers dissatisfied with their former lives are transported to a colony world in one-way spaceships with a promise of finding fulfillment. 👇🏻👇🏻

Bookwomble Depending on what can be believed, the colony has been set up by God, aliens, Earth's military or as a psychological experiment. All the characters distrust each other and, one-by-one, they are dying, being murdered or taking their own lives. Is this the work of an outside agency, or are members of the group responsible?

Some answers are given at the end, but more questions posed. Well, you wouldn't want it given to you on a plate, would you?
