“It might be, #Dick seems be telling us, that the apparent premise of the #book is illusory: it matters not so much who actually won and who actually lost a war as what we do with ourselves afterwards.” #TimothySnyder #PhilipKDick #TheManInTheHighCastle #books #BookSky #PKD

“Dick’s counterfactual presentation of #Nazism 17 years after victory is very good. He knew the essentials of what could be known about the mass killing of Jews, about the Hitlerian fixation with Ukraine, about divisions within the regime” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... #TimothySnyder #PKD

“it’s not surprising that Reason editor Nick Gillespie say ‘we’re all living in one or more of [Dick’s] stories.’ Public life, he says, feels like ‘Dick #novels all the way down’.” #PKD #PhilipKDick #AI #IChing open.substack.com/pub/millersb...

If you are a dev and feeling down because AI AI AI, there is a very good Philip K. Dick short story titled Pay for the Printer that you might enjoy. I don't think it is public domain yet, but you can probably find a copy lying around.

Not linking the wikipedia because it kind of spoils it.
