Dick's fiction calls up our basic cultural assumptions, requires us to reexamine them, and points out the destructive destinations to which they are carrying us.

„Наступает время, когда основной инстинкт барабана может стать разрушительным.“
To call Philip K. Dick <…> a science-fiction writer is to the underscore the inadequacy of the label. Dick <…> was fascinated by the scientific future largely as a vehicle for examining his own anxieties, longings and unstable perceptions. It would be more accurate to call him one of the most valiant psychological explorers of the 20th century.
