About the book: 2010 / Whatever Philip K. Dick wrote about - about an alternative post-nuclear future, about time travel under anesthesia or about the invasion of colonialists into a parallel world , - he did it in a way that no one else could have done. The fantastic realities he invented seem to be something you can touch with your hands - they are so carefully worked out, and his heroes are living people who behave absolutely naturally in absolutely unnatural situations. If you add to this paradoxical plots and never-losing themes, it is easy to understand why Philip K. Dick's books have been translated into many languages ​​and republished for more than half a century. The novels included in this volume belong to the middle period of the writer’s work. “The Threshold Between Worlds” is published in Russian for the first time. “When Last Year Comes” was translated specifically for this edition.
