Dan visits with Talking Weird to talk about the fascinating life, paranormal experiences, and work of Philip K. Dick.

PKD revolutionized science fiction, with his potent tales that questioned the nature of reality and what it meant to be human. Several of his novels and stories were the basis of films and television series, including BLADE RUNNER, TOTAL RECALL, MINORITY REPORT and THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE. His later, semi-autobiographical, novels, such as VALIS, covered some of Dick's own paranormal experiences.

This is a fascinating episode, filled with insights about one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century. You do not want to miss it!
