    PHILIP K. DICKI like to build universes which do fall apart. I like to see them come unglued, and I like to see how the characters in the novels cope with this problem.

    Phillip K. Dick: "One day a girl college student in Canada asked me to define reality for her, for a paper she was writing for her philosophy class. She wanted a one-sentence answer.

    'It is an eerie experience to write something into a novel, believing it is pure fiction, and to learn later on--perhaps years later--that it is true. I would like to give you an example. It is something that I do not understand. Perhaps you can come up with a theory. I can't.'
