In this prophetic 1978 essay, framed as a 'talk' given at Disneyland, Dick explores the nature of reality, the power of media, and the authenticity of human experience, offering startling insights that resonate eerily with our modern world.

Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) was an American science fiction author whose prolific career spanned three decades. Notable novels include The Man in the High Castle, Ubik and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which inspired the film Blade Runner. His writing influenced cyberpunk and posthuman literature, earning him critical acclaim—the critic Fredric Jameson hailed him as ‘the Shakespeare of Science Fiction’.
