Tiempo de Marte

In the arid colony of Mars, the only thing more valuable than water can be a ten-year-old schizophrenic boy named Manfred Steiner. Although for the UN he is an "anomalous" child destined for deportation and eventual destruction, others -especially Arnie Kott, president of the Local Union of Water Workers- suspect that Manfred's disorder may open a window to the future. But what kind of future? And what about all those unlucky ones Manfred trusted? In Time for Mars, Philip K. Dick, the incomparable genius of speculative fiction, uses political power, trafficking in extraterrestrial goods, adultery and murder to penetrate the mysteries of being and space.
