Philip K. Dick

The two basic topics which fascinate me are 'What is reality?' and 'What constitutes the authentic human being?'

Movies like 'Westworld' used ideas I'd thought of a long time ago.

We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, 'What is real?' Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms.

I am basically analytical, not creative; my writing is simply a creative way of handling analysis.
