Philip K. Dick makes Time Magazine!
The philosophy he dreamed of. Behind the plots of empathetic androids and cybertorpedoes, two questions obsessed Dick: What is real? and What is human? He also asked, What's next? "I think, as the Bible says, we all go to a common place," he said in a 1972 speech. "But it is not the grave; it is into life beyond. The world of the future." It is in his future, our present—in readers' minds and on the huge mindscreen of the movies—that Phil Dick lives.
(Thanks, Derek!)
