One that I found even more philosophical, but sort of sickeningly so, was The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. If the majority of PKD novels feel like weird acid trips, that one was beyond the pale for me. I feel kind of scarred for life on that one, lol. — Noble Dust
A Skanner Darkly is also very deep - about identity mostly, but lots of material. Several others, but Ubik can be interpreted in many ways. — Manuel
I don't think a thread needs more than 4 or 5 people. And his books are also rather short, can be read in three or four days without much trouble. — Manuel
This will have to be my next PKD :grin: — Jamal
But Horselover Fat? Come on, it's silly. — Manuel
we haven't really dug into lichicher. — T Clark
Which is ironic, since we've held several short story contests. — Noble Dust
a UBIK by Philip K. Dick thread. — Noble Dust
Woah, you read it already? Ok, I’ll see what I can do… I would like to re read it though, especially since I need to gather my thoughts in order to make a decent OP. — Noble Dust
Ah. I see. So all we have to do is wait for Noble Dust to create a thread about PKD. Damn, that's like a big responsibility. Not easy to create a thread about one the most philosophical of sci-fi writers. Wonder how that will go.
But no pressure. — Manuel
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
