They began as manufacturers of electronic mood organs and player pianos. Then they improved the line they started building exact simulacra of famous men. They thought that people would play a good price to have anyone they wanted made to order to talk with, befriend, and eventually utilize for any purpose they wanted.But they ran into trouble. For one thing an exactly programmed reconstruction of a famous man is going to be obstinate and as charactercomplex as the real man was and nobody's puppet.For another, they got involved with a project for settling the moon with their creations. And finally they got tangled up with thier own personal identities.It's a Philip K. Dick masterpiece, futurethinking, complex plotting, and typically 'different' as is to be expected from the Hugowinning author of The Man in the High Castle, Eye in the Sky, and Solar Lottery.Cover Illustration: John Schoenherr
