The Other SF Prophet — Philip K Dick

December 2nd, 2005 · No Comments

MeFi has some good links to Philip K Dick speeches and essays. Well worth a look.

If you have no clue who Philip K Dick is then you really need to read this. Or, if you can’t cope with reading that lot, sit through BladeRunner for the condensed view.

Staying up for days at a time wearing the same wrinkled and filthy Nehru jacket, eating frozen chicken pot pies and drinking protein-fortified milkshakes, downing fistfuls of “white crosses” and blasting opera music (while he inhaled gruesome amounts of snuff), Dick’s world was restricted to bikers, drug addicts, and teenage girls.

This isn’t an excerpt from a novel he wrote, though it easily could be, Dick had some major problems.
