A Libertarian Look at Philip K. Dick by Thomas Luongo by Thomas Luongo Recently by Thomas Luongo: The Inescapable Collapse of Watchmen It is nearly impossible for me to put into words how much the work of Philip K. Dick has impacted my life. It started in December 1981 and the pending release of the film Blade Runner that summer. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (1968) had just been re-printed and my life would change from the moment I plunked down that $1.75 plus tax at the Caldor’s in Vail’s Gate, NY. I went from a kid who only read when forced to someone with a book under his arm everywhere I went. As a mostly lonely and awkward teenager, I saw Dick’s story solely in human terms. Androids is soaked with the horrors of State policy.

This is the fifth of a six-part series looking at those final years. The series is written by Scott Timberg, the L.A. freelance journalist who runs the West Coast culture blog the Misread City.

An Obscure Interview With PKD Caption courtesy of Dangerous Minds: Philip K. Dick, Germs-manager Nicole Panter, author KW Jeter, and artist Gary Panter, at Philip K. Dick’s Santa Ana condo.
