Аннотация:
The Philip K. Dick android looked eerily like the iconic science fiction writer and counter culture guru. The android would watch people as they approached, hear their voices, answer their questions in Dick's own words. Then, a young roboticist on his way to Google headquarters lost the android head on a flight to Las Vegas. It has never been recovered. In a story that could have been lifted from one of Philip K. Dick's celebrated novels, which have been made into such blockbuster films as Blade Runner and The Adjustment Bureau, David Dufty brings to light the incredible events surrounding the creation of the android replica and its disappearance. Along the way, he explores how the science fiction of artificial intelligence will soon meet the very real future.
