Black Iron Prison from Philip K. Dick
- servytor 5y agoI just want to say I have come to two conclusions while considering this: 0). The Roman empire, despite being so large and literate, has almost no financial books that we read today. Why did a Roman not invent "the invisible hand"? 1). How on earth did the Romans not invent steampower? 2). Is the most common multiverse government a Roman one?
- rektide 5y agoReading VALIS trilogy & latter Radio Free Albemuth was a lifechanging experience, about a core lifechanging PKD encounter. The idea of the BIP is a super strong idea among tbis, an atemproal archin dogging us. Very gnostic to me. There's some Discordianism tie in too I think but Im forgetting exactly where. Anyhow, highly recommend. Wish this had gotten more votes & traction, oddball as it is for this place.
