Interesting to me is that PKD claims he was not under the influence of drugs at all when writing Scanner Darkly, although he admitted to using amphetamines for 18 years of his life (I guess before writing that book).
- atombender 8y agoPKD went off drugs in the early 1970s, after which he had a painful dry period. By the time he wrote Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, he had essentially transitioned to scotch, which probably hastened his early death in 1982. A Scanner Darkly was an autobiographical look back at his drug-abusing years.
