Philip K Dick was a modern and postmodern dynamo. His visions of the present and future, while bleak and disturbing, often explored the nature of reality. *What is real? What makes us human? Can any real answers be obtained?*
Philip K Dick was a modern and postmodern dynamo. His visions of the present and future, while bleak and disturbing, often explored the nature of reality. What is real? What makes us human? Can any real answers be obtained? And even as this puzzle consumed his mind, leaving behind a recursive heap, his lucidity within that insanity gifted us with passionately constructed alternatives to reality. He stared into the void, was torn to shreds by it, and yet emerged ready to gift humanity with a madman's tale entombed with all the skills of the writing gods.
