Beschreibung
An artist searches for God so he can paint his portrait in Philip K. Dick's collaboration with Roger Zelazny.
After World War III, the Servants of Wrath cult deified the mysterious Carlton Lufteufel, creator of the doomsday weapon that wiped out much of humanity. But to worship the man, they need an image of him as a god, and no one has ever seen him. So the high priests send a limbless master painter named Tibor McMasters into the wilderness on a mission to find Lufteufel and capture his likeness. Unfortunately for Tibor, the nation's remaining Christians do not want him to succeed and are willing to kill to ensure that the so-called Deus Irae remains hidden. This hallucinatory tale through a nuclear wasteland asks what price the artist must pay for art and tries to figure out just what makes a god.

Über den Autor
Philip K. Dick was born in Chicago on December 16, 1928, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He began publishing short stories in 1952, mostly finding homes in popular science fiction magazines, but he had little commercial success until he published The Man in the High Castle in 1962. He followed with novels such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Ubik, and Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said, establishing him as a writer of science fiction. Following years of drug abuse and a series of mystical experiences in 1974, Dick's work dealt more explicitly with issues of theology, metaphysics, and the nature of reality. He died in 1982 in Santa Ana, California, at the age of 53, due to complications from a stroke.
