PKD

My inner 12-year-old screams with delight when Moorcock writes about Dick, but the important part is that Michael Moorcock’s favorite PKD book is also mine: Time out of Joint, which says that maybe everything is fake. Also, Adam Roberts makes what may be the possible case for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. (As a post-humanist, I am not terribly concerned by The Android vs. the Human as anything but a sign of progress, but it mattered to Dick, perhaps because, like a common type of homophobe, he feared he was what he wanted to eliminate.) There’s also someone who appears to actually believe that Dick’s mimetic writing was his best.
