In 1962, Dick invents Uchronie (Dick invented many things, but we do not yet perceived in). But it goes much further than that. The alternate history is not the purpose here. Behind the scenes, there are labels, models: a reality is as good as another. A theme very (but then very) expensive to Dick. By definition, Dick's books about this subject can not have "end". This book in the "Wu", it is in equilibrium ;-) Change: Ouch, I saw the comments of those who waited in a pure narrative novel with intrigue on "and if the shaft had won" ... actually, you were wrong merchandise and I understand your disappointment. I hope you retenterez adventure with Dick and you'll eventually find out.
