We Can Build You (Vintage)

    (Vintage, 1994)

Louis Rosen and his partners used to sell spinets. Now they're selling people--or, to be more precise, ingeniously designed, historically authentic simulacra of such personages as Edwin M. Stanton and Abraham Lincoln. The problem is that the only prosepctive buyer is a rapacious billionaire whose plans for the simulacra could land Louis in jail. And then there's teh added complication that someone--or something--like Abraham Lincoln may not want to be sold.

Is an electronic Lincoln any less alive than his creators? Is a machine that cares and suffers inferior to teh woman Louis loves--a borderline psychopath who does neither? Wiht irresistible momentum, vast intelligence, and sly wit, Philip K. Dick creates an arresting techno-thriller that suggests a marriage of Bladerunner and Barbarians at the Gate.
