Philip K. Dick: Canonical Writer Of The Digital Age Studies In Major Literary Authors

Kucukaliclooks beyond the received criticism and stereotypes attached to Philip K. Dick and his work and shows, using a wealth of primary documentsincluding previously unpublished letters andinterviews,that Philip K. Dick is a serious and relevant philosophical and cultural thinker whose writing offer usimportant insights into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?
