Description
Solar Lottery was first published in 1955. As with almost all PKD’s writing, it’s set in a dystopian future. Society is governed by a random selection process called the “Lottery.”
The protagonist, Ted Benteley, becomes involved in a complex political system where leadership is determined by chance. The novel explores themes of randomness, power dynamics, and social control. As Benteley navigates this unpredictable world, he encounters various characters and challenges the existing social order. Dick’s novel critiques bureaucratic systems and the arbitrary nature of authority, showcasing his characteristic blend of philosophical speculation and speculative fiction typical of his early work.
A tight, unread copy and much better than it sounds.
