About
Philip K. Dick:
"Reality
is whatever refuses to go away when I stop believing in it." - Philip K.
Dick
Philip
K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the 20th century's most profound novelists and
writers within the science fiction community. His exploration, analysis and
beliefs led to the publishings of 44 novels and 121 short stories. Dick's
enormous library of works led to several successful film developments including
Blade Runner (1982), Total Recall (1990), Minority Report (2002), Paycheck
(2003), A Scanner Darkly (2006), 2012 Festival "Best Science Fiction
Feature" Award winner Radio Free Albemuth (2010), The Adjustment Bureau
(2011) and Total Recall (2012). Dick's enormously effective views comprised of
technological advancements, fictional universes, virtual realities and human
mutation foresaw an exaggerated version of the current state of government and
contemporary life. Though he is gone in the physical form his philosophies live
on in the techniques applied to modern stories and films and generate large
displays of appreciation and understanding.
