I recently fell, body and soul, in the K. Dick vacuum. It probably happened when one night, after too many drinks, I decided to watch “Totall Recall” again… “Philip K. Dick: A Day In The Afterlife” was produced for the BBC and focuses on the man himself, in all his crazy, drug-addled, paranoid glory. The mind behind some of most interesting sci-fi books is fascinated by the constant bombardment of advertising, the effects of giant media conglomerates, and the overwhelming feeling that the world in which we live exists only in the glowing vacuum tubes of countless television sets. It is an ode to one of the most creative minds in science fiction, and another step in the crusade for a wider recognition of his accomplishments.
Mandatory watch…
