Doris Elaine Sauter

Six months before his death in 1982, Gwen Lee recorded the first of several in-depth discussions with Philip K Dick, discussions which continued over the course of three months. The subjects touched upon include the specifics of his writing process, his reaction to the scenes and trailers of Blade Runner (he never lived to see the finished film), and accounts of his religious experiences. The greatest amount of time was devoted to discussions of his final book Owl in Daylight which remained unfinished. Essential reading for anyone interested in science fiction.

The Final Conversations of Philip K. Dick

What If Our World is Their Heaven?

Interviews with the genius behind The Man in the High Castle and countless other science fiction classics. In the field of science fiction, Philip K. Dick is unparalleled. His novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? became the classic film Blade Runner. His short story "The Minority Report" was adapted for the screen by Steven Spielberg. The Man in the High Castle has become a hit series on Amazon, and those titles represent only a small fraction of his work. In November 1982, six months before the author's untimely death, journalist Gwen Lee recorded the first of several in-depth discussions with Philip K. Dick that continued over the course of the next three months. This transcription is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the field of science fiction. "These transcripts bring fresh insights—notably, into the imaginative biotech plot line of the unwritten The Owl in Daylight . . . Dick also discusses music, writing, philosophers and his 1974–1975 mystical visions, when the revelation of his son's undiagnosed birth defect—'down to anatomical details'—saved the child's life . . . Fans will rejoice." — Publishers Weekly
