More human than human: how Philip K. Dick can change your life
Jesse Hicks talks to Jonathan Lethem, John Alan Simon, and other ‘Dickheads’ about PKD’s enduring legacy.
In Dick’s worlds, people could be shits and robots could be more human than human. It all came down to whether they could find within themselves a genuine sense of fellow-feeling. This aligned him less with his sci-fi contemporaries than with authors whose work proposed a strong moral philosophy, such as Leo Tolstoy and, a generation after Dick, David Foster Wallace.
