Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) was one of the seminal figures of 20th hundred years science fiction. His many reports and novels, such as such classics as Ubik and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, echo a deeply personal world view, discovering the fragile, multifarious aspect of simple fact itself and examining those elements that make us - or fail to make us - totally human. He does around anyone to demolish the artificial hurdle between genre fiction and "literature," and the best of his work has earned a permanent put in place North american popular culture.
