Nobody blurred the line between his life and his literature more than the legendary science-fiction author, Philip K. Dick.  And that’s only fitting since one of the major themes of his fiction is, “What is reality?”  This week we take a look at the life and work of the man who’s been described as “one of the most valiant psychological explorers of the twentieth century,” as we commemorate the 30th anniversary of his death.
