LOTERÍA SOLAR es la primera novela de Philip K. Dick. En un mundo supuestamente dominado por la lógica y los números, el presidente, el Presentador, es elegido mediante un sofisticado sistema de lotería. Ted Benteley, un joven ingeniero, entra a trabajar en las prestigiosas oficinas del ex-Presentador Reese Verrick, y pronto descubre que le han asignado una peligrosa tarea, asesinar al nuevo Presidente Leon Cartwright, el equipo de Verrick inventa un androide, Keith Pellig, controlado por la mente de Benteley y otros “operadores”. En un último climax, los hombres y mujeres que pretendían escapar al Minimax perdiéndose en el espacio exterior, encuentran en los límites del sistema solar a John Preston, el mítico pionero. El libro se cierra en una atmósfera de engaño, intriga y decepción, que prolonga el mundo del Minimax. “El hecho de que Philip K. Dick tiene como temas la realidad y la locura, el mal y la salvación ha escapado a casi todos los críticos. Nadie ha notado que tenemos nuestro propio Borges, y que lo hemos tenido durante treinta años.” – Ursula K. Le Guin, New Republic
