Philip K. Dick was an American science fiction writer whose work has influenced countless films and novels. Known for his exploration of reality, consciousness, and paranoia, his stories often question the nature of existence itself.
Dick's writing explores paranoid themes about reality, identity, and consciousness through accessible prose. His stories often feature ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances that challenge their perception of reality.
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words."
"I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional world spun out of my own mind."
