Against the hyper-real backdrop of Disneyland in 1978, visionary science fiction author Philip K Dick delivers a mind-bending speech on the fragile nature of reality and the quest for human authenticity in an increasingly mediated world.
“The two basic topics which fascinate me are ‘What is reality?’ and ‘What constitutes the authentic human being?’”
Philip K. Dick on the craft of science-fiction and technology as politics.
Introduced by David C. Krakauer (President) and William H. Miller (Professor of Complex Systems) at the Santa Fe Institute of Science.
