Show Notes
It's another blast from the past as the OWC summer break goes on. In this oldie, Liane and I have a conversation with Alexander Dunst, Assistant Professor of American Studies at the University of Paderborn in Germany, in which we discuss "libertarian anarcho-pacifist" Philip K. Dick. Alex is a PKD scholar and edited the book of essays The World According to Philip K. Dick. PKD's work has, of course, been adapted into several Hollywood films (for better and for worse). and our discussion of the impact and implications of his work brings us to topics such as Artificial Intelligence and the stigma of mental illness.
