One of the most surrealist anc controversial science fiction writers.
We are living in strange times. Politics. Society. Culture wars. Things have gone weird. We’re looking for knowledge and wisdom to guide us in strange times.
I can think of no better guide to the year 2022 than Philip K Dick.
The author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, the inspiration for Blade Runner, is best known as a science fiction writer. But after his infamous spiritual awakening and the events of 2−3−74, Philip K Dick became something more…a visionary prophet for the age we’re all now living in.
