In a world that increasingly resembles the science fictions of our past, there is perhaps no better (or weirder) perspective to consider than that of the late science fiction mastermind, Philip K. Dick.
“The Eyes Have It” describes the startling revelation of a reader who, in the innocuous-seeming pages of a lost book, discovers the truth about an alien invasion. It is the essential Philip K. Dick, representing a writer and “fictionalizing philosopher” so at odds with conventional reality that the most basic tool of his self expression—his language—must be called into question.
Philip K. Dick was an American writer whose works helped shape the science fiction genre in the twentieth century. His most well-known books include Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and A Scanner Darkly. He connects themes of reality and technology with identity and consciousness, encouraging readers to ask questions about the conflict between reality and illusion.
Born in Chicago in 1928, Dick then spent most of his life in California, and began publishing science fiction stories in the early 1950s. During his lifetime, Dick unfortunately did not receive widespread mainstream recognition, but his work gained increasing acclaim for its originality and depth. His writing has inspire several famous film and television adaptations, including Blade Runner and Minority Report.
