En savoir plus sur le livre
In 1966, Philip K. Dick published the novelette "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," which inspired an upcoming movie. This novelization closely follows the original plot in its first half, transforming the unremarkable protagonist, Douglas Quail, into a musclebound man of action. Frustrated with his mundane life, Quail seeks to purchase a memory of a two-week adventure on Mars, unable to afford the real experience. However, during the procedure to implant the memory, he recalls that he was actually on Mars as an intelligence agent and killer. With this suppressed memory resurfacing, his life is suddenly in danger. The narrative then shifts from Dick's philosophical exploration to a more straightforward, action-packed chase thriller. Despite this change in tone, the book remains engaging and entertaining. Douglas Quail's dreams are filled with haunting images of Mars, a place he has never visited, until he visits a company that specializes in memory implants. This encounter thrusts him into a conspiracy that challenges the very foundation of his existence. The story, featuring fast-paced action and vivid imagery, showcases the talents of one of the genre's most respected authors.
