false <![CDATA[The Simulacra]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173216000m/259377.jpg 226460 16 Set in the middle of the 21st century, <b>The Simulacra</b> is the story of a USA where the whole government is a fraud & the President is an android. Against this backdrop Dr. Superb, the sole remaining psychotherapist, is struggling to practice in a world full of the maladjusted. Ian Duncan is desperately in love with the first lady, Nicole Thibideaux, who he has never met. Richard Kongrosian refuses to see anyone because he's convinced his body odor is lethal. The fascistic Bertold Goltz is trying to overthrow the government. With wonderful aplomb Dick brings this story to a crashing conclusion & in classic fashion shows there is always another layer of conspiracy beneath the ones we see. 219364 1964 The Simulacra total:531|5:85|4:181|3:219|2:42|1:4| 531 1894 753 28 3 2 false false Wed Feb 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 09:58:17 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 14:05:39 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri May 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 19:37:46 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 19:51:29 -0700 2009

Seems to suggest that the structure on which we base our lives and which we find vitally important may be a construct.
