- Ygg2 5y ago> The two basic topics which fascinate me are “What is reality?” and “What constitutes the authentic human being?” Philip K Dick. To boil it down to slavery is a modern take. His other story Roog about a dog defending his home has a similar premise. His question is closely related to whether you could figure out you are a copy, whether your could tell actual reality from perceived reality, etc.
