Phillip K. Dick - The Penultimate Truth

Philip K. Dick is considered by many to be one the world's greatest
science fiction writers ever; as a sufferer from mental illness himself
he had the ability to turn his hallucinations about the universe into an
extraordinary writing career.

During his lifetime, Dick produced an astonishing amount of prize
winning novels and short stories, which were translated into more than
25 languages. His books inspired iconic movies that generated more than
a billion dollars worldwide. Three of his literary works were
transformed into blockbuster movies: Blade Runner, Minority Report and
Total Recall.

Dick's stories were often surrealistic fantasies in which characters
discovered that their everyday world was an illusion, generated by
external entities or otherwise the adventures of an unreliable narrator.

Several years before his death, Philip started having mystical
experiences that affected his everyday life. As a result, he started to
wonder if what he had imagined for his stories was real and if life was
just an illusion or the creation of each person's subjectivity.

This in-depth program explores Philip K. Dick`s world, a universe full
of mysteries and intrigues.
