Beschreibung

"Despite his enduring popularity, Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) has long been a marginal figure in American literature, even in the science fiction genre he helped revolutionize. Offering a major new perspective on the author, influential French philosopher David Lapoujade orients Dick within philosophy and draws connections to a wide variety of other thinkers and artists, revealing his oeuvre to comprise a profound reality defined by artifice, precarity, and control"--
