Cover of Lejla Kucukalic: Philip K. Dick (ePUB)

Kucukalic looks beyond the received criticism and stereotypes attached to Philip K. Dick and his work and shows, using a wealth of primary documents including previously unpublished letters and interviews, that Philip K. Dick is a serious and relevant philosophical and cultural thinker whose writing offer us important insights into contemporary digital culture. Evaluating five novels that span Dick”s career–from Martian Time Slip (1964) to Valis (1981)–Kucukalic explores the the intersections of identity, narrative, and technology in order to ask two central, but uncharted ‘Dickian’ questions: What is reality? and What is human?
