Title
The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick: Selected Literary and Philosophical Writings - Paperback
by Philip K. Dick (Author), Lawrence Sutin (Editor)
"What Kafka was to the first half of the twentieth century, Philip K. Dick is to the second half."--Art Spiegelman, author of MAUS
Philip K. Dick was both our most brilliant science fiction writer and a visionary philosopher who chose to couch his speculations in fiction. For, as he wrote about androids and virtual reality, schizophrenic prophets and amnesiac gods, Dick was also posing fundamental questions: What is reality? What is sanity? And what is human? This unprecedented collection of Dick's literary and philosophical writings acquaints us with the astonishing range and eloquence of his lifelong inquiry.
