from WakingWorld · host WakingWorld

In this week's episode of the WakingWorld podcast, Toby guides us through the fascinating life and works of author Philip K. Dick. Known to the masses through the adaptation of his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep into the iconic film Bladerunner, Dick's exploration of the nature of reality, paranoia, and the concept of God were deeply influenced by his altered states of consciousness, fuelled by a, seemingly endless, supply of amphetamines. Join us as we uncover the mind behind some of the most intriguing science fiction ever written.
