Because Dick was a massive pessimist and had mental issues. Or maybe he was a genius seer. Either way congratulations, we live in the sort of dystopia he envisioned.
- krageon 5y agoHe succeeded in writing books that are well-known and in some circles well-liked and having a certain amount of prescience. Given those things, why would they be mental "issues"? Clearly they worked well for him.
- trompetenaccoun 5y agoSure, you have a point. I have read many of his books. While I'm definitely fascinated with his writing, I'm not sure I would say I enjoyed reading them, because they're so dark. What I meant to say is our reality turning out that way should be a red flag to anyone who knows his stories. I highly doubt he ever meant them as a blueprint, his writing was probably of more therapeutic nature.
