Description:
This is the 2015 Turkish edition of Mars’ta Zaman Kayması (Martian Time-Slip), published by Altıkırkbeş Yayınları, presenting one of Philip K. Dick’s distinctive science fiction novels to Turkish readers. Known for its psychological depth and unconventional narrative, this work stands out within Dick’s body of fiction.
The novel is set in a human colony on Mars, where a small and fragile society struggles to survive under harsh environmental and social conditions. At the center of the story is Manfred Steiner, an autistic child who appears to experience time in a radically different way, perceiving past, present, and future simultaneously.
As various characters become aware of Manfred’s unusual perception, they attempt to understand—and exploit—his abilities. This leads to complex interactions involving corporate interests, personal ambitions, and deeper questions about the nature of time and reality.
Philip K. Dick explores themes such as time distortion, mental perception, colonial life, and the instability of reality. The novel also examines psychological isolation and the subjective experience of consciousness, presenting reality as something fluid and deeply personal.
This Altıkırkbeş Yayınları edition offers a Turkish translation of a unique and thought-provoking sci-fi novel, making it appealing to both collectors and readers interested in philosophical science fiction.
