Synopsis "The Waker Dreams"

There's nothing like exciting fantasy to escape boredom. The problem is to know whether it's actually a fantasy. Dipping low and weaving in and out among the glittering towers, one might see the moving walks, the studied revolution of the giant street ventilators, hot in the winter and cool in summer, the tiny doors opening and closing, the park fountains shooting their methodical columns of water into the air. Farther along, one would flit across the great open field on which the glossy spaceships stood lined before their hangars. Farther yet, one would catch sight of the river, the metal ships resting along shore, delicate froth streaming from their sterns caused by the never-ending operation of their vents. Again, one would glide over the city proper, seeking some sign of life in the broad avenues, the network of streets, the painstaking pattern of dwellings in the living area, the metal fastness of the commercial section. The search would be fruitless.

Es considerado uno de los autores más influyentes del siglo XX por escritores de la talla de Ray Bradbury o Stephen King. Además de su contribución a la ciencia ficción, el terror, la fantasía y el western, Matheson destaca por su labor como guionista. Llevan su firma algunos de los capítulos más memorables de las emblemáticas The twilight zone, Star Trek o The Alfred Hitchcock Hour; además de las adaptaciones de cuentos de Edgar Allan Poe dirigidas por Roger Corman o el primer trabajo cinematográfico de Steven Spielberg. También varios de sus relatos han sido llevados a la gran pantalla, como El increíble hombre menguante en 1957 o El último escalón en 2000. Pero el más recordado de todos ellos es Soy leyenda.
