Years later I was describing it to friend of mine and he brought me up to speed that Ubik was real, yet ethereal at the same time. I since have bought everything he wrote except for some early works and plan to pass him on to all of my kids. Nobody even comes close to Dick and I can only say thank you sir for all that you have contributed to literature and the power of imagination. poehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376349482064059693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-78963204549992916412013-10-06T17:49:32.176-07:002013-10-06T17:49:32.176-07:00Phillip K.

But it was a movie, I was working, married, children - no time to think who wrote it? I just finished Divine Intervention, found poking through Powell's in Portland. A lot of Dick on its shelves. The fun thing was, the clarity of the metaphysical that leaves most people scrambling through their talk trash. I am 3/4s through VALIS, and keep reading it although it aggravates me that Dick is not here to argue with. It is this wall of ideas, you walk up, touch it anywhere - and all this brilliance, with the Dick mind bound up in, comes forth. Who and what are these things he pours down on our heads???? The one thing I say to him - REALITY, no matter the level experienced, MATTERS. Trivial, banal - who says? It all leads to a past and a future with the present as the negotiator. For humans, it is the mind, yes an abstraction. Whether you are existential or GOD head, or something in between, whether you are famous or just a smudge in the bottom of a landfill - you have the universe in your head. There are places in the universe where NOTHING happens - I choose DICK to read. If humans ever do leave the solar system - we'll go as an abstraction, digitized information.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01539974679242545289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-36665233054638686742010-01-21T07:11:46.020-08:002010-01-21T07:11:46.020-08:00Me encanta la obra de su padre.
A Scanner Darkly ...Me encanta la obra de su padre. <br />A Scanner Darkly creo, en opinión personal, ha sido fielmente adaptada. Y no solo por las imagenes, sino por el transfondo tan maravilloso que tiene. Es una amplia reflexión interior del ser y el yo. Blade Runner (es que es igual que el libro, si se mira bien, claro) y Monority, también son geniales. <br />En definitiva. Que los que amamos a Philip siempre nos sentiremos un poco huerfanos con su marcha. Pero no del todo. Menos mal que nos queda su producción.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-23660124025285301442009-12-17T15:56:16.138-08:002009-12-17T15:56:16.138-08:00Isa,

To sue Google for using the name Nexus in their product (especially when other companies have as well and haven't been pursued) is absurd and is tarnishing your father's name and reputation.

I think it's excellent that you're maintaining and keeping his trust alive. I hope you are benefitted by it, as everyones lives are made of a richer library.<br />I love Total Recall. I hate to admit it. I'm amazed at the amount of movies have been derived from his material, and that any of them were made. <br />It would be nice to see a movie which properly reflected his profound take on life without explaining the complicated subtleties in such an in your face manner. <br />They need not be amplified, thus diluted, just expressed subtly. <br />Difficult to do in films.<br /><br />Good luck and take care,<br />-NeurosineUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587350650197710162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184123882936370131.post-91250263914192114342009-02-19T21:40:00.000-08:002009-02-19T21:40:00.000-08:00To buy cabal online alz , it is not the aim of th...To buy <A HREF="http://www.mmodo.com/product/Cabal_Online_Alz.html" REL="nofollow"> cabal online alz </A>, it is not the aim of the cable.
