Sinossi
"'La Lotteria dello spazio' di Dick non distribuisce vincite miliardarie, non rende nababbi pochi fortunati giocatori, non è il sogno esplicito di ogni travet che non sa come sbarcare il lunario. È qualcosa di più: un sistema politico perfettamente organizzato e legalizzato. Ogni giro dell'urna estrae il nome di colui che governerà la terra e l'intero sistema solare, il Quizmaster. Un potere enorme che può capitare nelle mani di chiunque. Ognuno, infatti, può partecipare alla grande lotteria del caso: basta essere cittadini del mondo e godere dei diritti civili, il che è sintetizzato dal possesso di un documento, la 'tessera professionale' (capacity card). Con questi presupposti, la storia che Dick narra assume valenze ovviamente secondarie, ché tutto s'incanala nella portante robusta dell'idea di fondo, con la sua carica di critica al sistema politico e di sapida satira. Perché, quasi a limitare l'enorme potere che la sorte conferisce al nome estratto dall'urna, l'Autore inserisce un elemento finalistico altrettanto inquietante: chiunque può attentare alla vita del Quizmaster, seguendo precise regole di comportamento, e prendere il suo posto."

Recensioni
an ingenious, frenetically paced book crammed full of fascinating ideas. this was Dick's first published novel yet it doesn't feel like it. he jumped into writing with his style and his themes fully formed. that's not to say this isn't rough - but all of his stories are rough. for me that is a big p Leggi tutto
I like the Irish rock band U2, but especially like the early music. Songs like “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and “Pride” had an edge (pun intended) and a spiritual, raw vitality that was more than just appealing, it was hypnotic and mesmerizing. Whatever it was these young musicians were selling, I was buy Leggi tutto
Solar Lottery is Dick’s first science fiction novel and the last book on my PKD 1950’s reading list. Of the six novels published in the 50’s, I liked this one the least. But I’m not too disappointed. After all, it’s only Dick’s first. It will be followed by much better novels in the years to come. Th Leggi tutto
"I'm a sick man. And the more I see, the sicker I get. I'm so sick I think everybody else is sick and I'm the only healthy person. That's pretty bad off, isn't it?” ― Philip K. Dick, Solar Lottery I figured Super Tuesday was an appropriate time to read PKD's first novel about lottery elections, rando Leggi tutto
Retro társadalmi sci-fi kizárólag gyűjtőknek. Klassz dick-es ötletek, alacsony szintű kidolgozottság, szövegesztétikailag pedig nem is igazán tudnám értékelni. Mint életműkiadási kötelező, illetve irodalomtörténeti izémizé, elmegy.
Although the Philip K. Dick novel "Solar Lottery" is correctly cited as being the writer's first full-length piece of fiction to see the light of day, it was hardly the first time the budding author saw his name in print. The 26-year-old Dick had already seen some 35 short sci-fi stories published b Leggi tutto
Annyira jól megfigyelhető, hogy miképp változnak a PKD-regények attól függően, mikor íródtak. Az Űrlottó ¬ ha minden igaz ¬ első kiadott regénye volt, amely 2020-ban jelent meg először magyar nyelven. Lehet érezni, hogy ez a regény nem olyan különleges és egyedülálló, mint későbbi művei, nem omlik ö Leggi tutto
This is my first encounter with PKD and I was pleasantly surprised by his work, which kept me turning the pages. Solar Lottery is his first published novel and is quite good for a debut. He creates a fairly complete and believable world with consistent rules and norms and he does so skillfully and c Leggi tutto
read this book again for the first time in fifteen years... i remember liking it before but not nearly as much as this. it's pkd's first novel and you can tell... it's obviously been carefully laid-out and makes perfect sense; there's not that manic semi-psychedelic flight forward that you get in hi Leggi tutto
Egyébként neagyon nem bírom ezeket az új PKD- és Bradbory-borítókat, de ez kivételesen tetszik is, találó is.
