Philip K. Dick [View all]

Why didn’t somebody turn me on to this guy when I was in high school? That’s when I became a life long fan of Vonnegut and Orwell. Started Le Guin in middle school, too! I also dabbled Huxley and Bradbury in high school. Someone recommended Heinlein to me after college (Blech!). But nobody ever said you gotta go read this great social commentary sci fi by Dick and there is loads of it out there. I just ready The Penultimate Truth and it is so relevant—and there are like 30 more books to read.

That is all.
