Books, Manuscripts
Philip K. Dick was a hugely influential writer who drew upon his own life to address the nature of drug abuse, paranoia, schizophrenia, and transcendental experiences of all kinds. He was a prolific author and many of his books were turned into popular films such as 'Blade Runner', 'A Scanner Darkly', 'Total Recall', and 'Minority Report'. This book has been written with the cooperation of several close acquaintances and examines his work as well as the socio-political-cultural environment in which he lived.
