Time Magazine Online: On the Life and Afterlife of Philip K. Dick
By Richard Corliss, January 19, 2004
"Fifty years ago you could have found some of the most imaginative, rule- and mind-bending fiction, published at an insanely prolific rate. If only you knew where to look. Not in The New Yorker or Esquire or The Partisan Review — at least, not for our immediate purposes — but in tatty 35-cent magazines dedicated to science fiction...In 1953, on the instantly-yellow pages of these infra-dig rags, one could often find the work of a 24-year-old Cal-Berkeley dropout, Philip K.

"If someone were to write a history of the future as it has been dreamed up by Hollywood over the years,
the chapter on today's tomorrow would belong in large part to Philip K. Dick....Though he wrote pulp fiction,
Dick was foremost an intellectual puzzlemaker. Using a weird algebra of shifting realities, all-encompassing paranoia
and slam-bang plots, he constructed wildly original mind games that call into question the nature of reality itself."
