PHILIP K DICK AND THE WORLD WE LIVE IN

by Evan Lampe



Trade paperback, 396 pages, $25, ISBN-10: 1508741492, Mar 13, 2015



We live in a world that looks increasingly familiar to the worlds described by Philip K. Dick a half century ago. In this book, Lampe explores the multiple ways in which the global capitalist society—liquid and uncertain—was foreshadowed in Dick’s novels and stories. Analyzing most of Dick’s works, including the often underappreciated stories and early novels, Lampe establishes the outline of a general interpretation of Philip K. Dick for our age. This book also goes beyond Dick’s mystical, philosophical, and metaphysical questions and documents his economic, political, and social vision. With chapters on the rise of the surveillance state, technological unemployment, global governance, family, mental illness, new religious movements, consumerism, and urban geography this book presents new ways to read the most important American science fiction writer of the twentieth century​​​


This is the most comprehensive study of Dick's whole

worldview yet published, and it's difficult to see how anybody can do anything better in the areas he covered at present, and will be of interest to those long interested in Dick, and will want to pursue it further.

AN INDEX TO THE SELECTED LETTERS OF PHILIP K DICK: 1974

By David Hyde



Trade paperback, 2013, 131 pages, ISBN-13: 978-1482767360, $11.95.



​ALTERNATE REALITY, TRUTH OR MADNESS “… I have no theory, but in any case all I did was rap on and on about how the Holy Spirit (die heilige Geist) had recently taken me over (true, would I lie to you, Ursula?) and had bidden me turn against the Communist beast Fascists who would enslave the world, exactly like our own Roman rulers… To me, on the basis of my recent religious experience, I feel (in all honesty) that we are in Rome again, with the early Christians persecuted and fighting for freedom.” - Philip K. Dick to Ursula K. Le Guin, April 14th 1974. Letter 47 in THE SELECTED LETTERS OF PHILIP K. DICK: 1974 Thus did PKD first announce his visionary experiences of 1974 to the world, opening up a puzzle and a quest for philosophers and seekers of all stripes to find the truth in the voluminous speculation that followed from this letter. From pink beams and strange dreams to orthogonal time and tutelary entities from the stars, it all begins in THE SELECTED LETTERS OF PHILIP K. DICK: 1974. This INDEX TO SL 74 is intended as an aid to the students of Philip K. Dick’s life and the scholars whose task it is to sort it all out. With the recently published EXEGESIS OF PHILIP K. DICK (2011), THE SELECTED LETTERS OF PHILIP K. DICK: 1974 (1991) and this INDEX TO SL 74 (2013) scholars can now more closely study this critical year in the life of the 21st Century’s most acclaimed writer
