Mezcla de distopía y de alegoría cuasi junguiana sobre el espacio interior," Gestarescala" (" Galactic Pot-Healer" en el original) es prácticamente el único de los grandes libros de Philip K. Dick que no se había publicado nunca en España." Gestarescala" comienza un jueves de abril de 2046 en Cleveland, en la República Comunal de los Ciudadanos de América, una distopía totalitaria de corte comunista. El protagonista, Joe Fernwright, está desempleado y vive del subsidio. Antes era alfarero, como lo había sido su padre, en los tiempos en que un puchero de barro era algo maravilloso y los objetos no eran todos de plástico. Ahora su única forma de esquivar la cruda vacuidad de la sociedad global, su única forma de romper la soledad y el aislamiento, es descolgar el teléfono, conectar vía satélite con algún lugar remoto y participar en El Juego. Pero, un buen día, los servicios de Fernwright son requeridos en el Planeta del Labrador, junto con los de otros seres alienados y desahuciados de toda la galaxia.
