"We live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups. I ask, in my writing, 'What is real?' Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms." Philip K Dick
Totally apolitical now, but Dick was right.
I must read 'The three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch again. I must.

That is a great book, just finished it a few months ago. I love all PKD's stuff, great vision and way ahead of his time.
Pseudo realities will always exist, it is inescapable, for we have yet to discover what reality actually is. Everyone lives in a completely different reality based upon life experience, and perceptions.

I have almost all of his books, read most of them. My favorites--The three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch,Ubik, A Scanner Darkly, and 'Our Friends From Frolix 8'
old book covers are dope.

That's why I hardly bother to talk.
"Every one interprets everything in terms of his own experience. If you say anything which does not touch a precisely similar spot in another man's brain, he either misunderstands you, or doesn't understand you at all.”
