Philip K. Dick ~ Dr. Futurity
just finished Philip K. Dick’s novel of time-travel, euthanasia, history and conscience, Dr. Futurity. as early as this is in the PKD ouevre, you hear the beginnings of his philosophical bent in this one. elegantly cinematic in its poetry, particularly at the beginning. PKD is the best.
Philip K. Dick ~ Solar Lottery
just finished reading Philip K. Dick’s first published sci-fi thriller, Solar Lottery an ultra-impoverished society governed by the spin of a bottle. probably more distinguished by its thriller pace and the minutiae of its technical imagination than by PKD’s usual philosophic flights; still an integral and exciting part of the canon. PKD is the best.
Philip K. Dick ~ The World Jones Made
just finished reading Philip K. Dick’s novel, The World Jones Made. a strictly Relativist (!) society meets a man with absolute foreknowledge. the most just alien invasion and denouement and the most compelling mode of planetary colonization i’ve read. PKD is the best.
Philip K. Dick ~ The Crack in Space
just finished reading Philip K. Dick’s The Crack in Space, an inter-dimensional thriller presciently replete with our first African-American Presidential Candidate, albeit belatedly circa 2080, and his nemeses the Koch Bros, as Siamese-twin megalomaniacs joined at the head. PKD is the best.
