I mondi di K.A. Teryna – autrice di spicco della fantascienza russa contemporanea – sono difficili da dimenticare: in "Medusa" siamo in una parodia del cyberpunk, potenziato da social network e gamification, in stile Black Mirror; "Krözelcikus" è un giallo che parte dal furto dell'elioforo, una macchina fotografica ritenuta illegale; "Hunky-dory" spazia dalle nanotecnologie agli studi di Vernadskij sulla noosfera, anche se alla base del racconto c'è il sacrificio e l'illuminazione.

Il romanzo conclusivo della straordinaria trilogia di Valis. "Sono l'ultima persona vivente ad aver conosciuto il vescovo Timothy Archer della diocesi della California, la sua amante, e SUO figlio, mio marito, il proprietario di casa e salariato pro forma. Qualcuno dovrebbe... Be', sarebbe bello se nessuno ripetesse ciò che hanno fatto loro a livello collettivo: si sono offerti volontari per la morte. Ognuno di loro come Parsifal, un perfetto idiota."

La visione di Philip K. Dick di una possibile forma di vita extraterrestre intelligente, capace di influenzare l'esistenza degli umani. "Un giorno, i ricordi del piccolo sarebbero tornati. Qualcosa, uno stimolo disinibitore attivato dai preparativi del bambino stesso, avrebbe rimosso quel buio, avrebbe cancellato l'amnesia, e tutti i ricordi sarebbero rifluiti: il suo concepimento su cY30-cY3OB, il periodo nel grembo di Rybys mentre lei lottava con l'orribile malattia, in viaggio verso la Terra, forse persino l'interrogatorio.

Precorrendo i motivi cari al cyberpunk, Philip K. Dick affonda la penna nei temi della decadenza, delle fantasie cosmiche e delle inquietudini interiori che attanagliano l'uomo moderno. Chi o cos'è Valis? È un'imperscrutabile entità intelligente che vive nello spazio? O forse un meccanismo, una formula o, ancora, un essere vivente vero e proprio, che emana uno sconvolgente flusso di informazioni sulla natura dell'universo?
