Synopsis
Kucukalic looks beyond the received criticism and stereotypes attached to Philip K. Dick and his work and shows, using a wealth of primary documents including previously unpublished letters and interviews, that Philip K. Dick is a serious and relevant philosophical and cultural thinker whose writing offer us important insights into contemporary digital culture. Evaluating five novels that span Dick's career--from Martian Time Slip (1964) to Valis (1981)--Kucukalic explores the the intersections of identity, narrative, and technology in order to ask two central, but uncharted "Dickian" questions: What is reality? and What is human?, Kucakulic examines the major themes of Dick's novels '€" including the critique of consumer society, mass media, and technology '€" finding ultimately that, transcending these concerns, is Dick's concern with the traditional moral and religious issues of American literature, as manisfested in the modern world.
