Time investment? There is also no context? Fiction, nonfiction? As a reader how would I know what I am getting myself into? and how would I know on first click this a talented artist.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoIf you are a Sci-Fi fan, then you should now already or learn now, that Philip K. Dick is "a talented artist" in the American canon. Or you could ask Wikipedia who he was. Or chatGPT if you don't mind fake knowledge. That is what makes the essay interesting, not the mildly paranoid musings about synchronicity, fakes, human kindness and drug dealing. If you're not a Philip K. Dick fan or a Sci-Fi fan, walk on.
- chmod775 3y agoOkay to be fair, Philip K. Dick is somewhat of a known quantity.

- Cthulhu_ 3y agoNo, there are more.
- Ensorceled 3y agoFrom Wikipedia… > Popular films based on his works include Blade Runner (1982), Total Recall (adapted twice: in 1990 and in 2012), Screamers (1995), Minority Report (2002), A Scanner Darkly (2006), The Adjustment Bureau (2011), and Radio Free Albemuth (2010). If you’ve not heard of P.K. Dick before it’s kind of weird to be worried about “is this a talented artist”… you really need to push your boundaries in any way possible.
