Kucukaliclooks beyond the received criticism and stereotypes attached to Philip K. Dick and his work and shows, using a wealth of primary documentsincluding previously unpublished letters andinterviews,that Philip K. Dick is a serious and relevant philosophical and cultural thinker whose writing offer usimportant insights into contemporary digital culture. Evaluating five novels that span Dick's career from Martian Time Slip (1964) to Valis (1981) Kucukalic explores the the intersections of identity, narrative, and technology in order to ask two central, but uncharted "Dickian" questions: What is reality? and What is human?
