Biography and Works
Philip Kindred Dick was an enormously influential American author of science fiction stories and novels. His work often dealt with complex issues of reality and alternate history, authoritarian government, and metaphysics. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says of his writing: "Even te most perilous metaphysical terrors of his finest novels wore a complaining, vulnerable, human face. In all his work he was astonishingly intimate, self-exposed, and very dangerous. He was the funniest SF writer of his time, and perhaps the most terrifying."
Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was adapted into the very successful sci-fi film, Blade Runner, and his works have inspired many other films and television projects.
