From the master chronicler of psychological extremes, an unforgettable portrait of the Shakespeare of science fiction whose work has influenced millionsFor his many devoted readers, Philip K. Dick is not only one of the most valiant psychological explorers of the 20th century (The New York Times) but a source of divine revelation. Dick, whose work inspired such films as Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report, dedicated his life to solving one ultimately unanswerable question: What is real?In the riveting style that won accolades for The Adversary, Emmanuel Carrre follows Dicks strange odyssey from his traumatic beginnings in 1928, when his twin sister died in infancy, to his lonely end in 1982, beset by mystical visions of swirling pink lights, threeeyed invaders, and messages from the Roman Empire. Drawing on interviews as well as unpublished sources, Carrre traces Dicks multiple marriages, paranoid fantasies, and vertiginous encounters with the drug culture of sixties California. He vividly conjures the spirit of this restless observer of American postwar malaise whose more than fifty novels subverted the materials of science fictionparallel universes, intricate time loops, collective delusionsto create classic works of contemporary anxiety.As disturbing and engrossing as a book by its subject, Carrres unconventional work interweaves life and art to reveal the maddening genius whose writing foresawfrom cloning to reality TVa world that looks ever more like one of his inventions.
