Well at least somebody recognizes the importance of the continued academic study of Philip K Dick. It's just too bad they're in England because I can't go. I am starting to research what's involved in holding a PKD conference here in the Bay Area. There's never been a PKD conference in America. Obviously, Dick's old stomping grounds are the perfect setting.
If you're in England make sure to check this one out:
