The Cosmic Philosophy of Philip K. Dick

Philip K. Dick is one of the most renowned Sci-Fi and alternative history authors. As the mind behind Blade Runner, Man in The High Castle, Minority Report, and UBIK, his presence is well known, but the content of his work is often overshadowed by his works' successful film adaptations. Here we explore the larger philosophical points PKD is making throughout his body of work. Primarily through the lens of his existentialism, and what we may call his "cosmic" sense of the word.
