We parked near Anne Dick’s old House. PKD lived here about 1960-1964. He rented a shack he called the hovel, a short walk around two corners. We did the walk he took to write.

My 11th novel Great America in Dead World comes out in July but I have arcs. This philosophical Sci fi novel was an experiment in writing a novel using the PKD formula as he laid it out in a 1964 letter. If you want to write articles, cover on a podcast or write an honest review DM me.

Reading this 65 year old copy of this novel written in 2nd century AD. Often called the first SF novel it is 💯 bizarro. The first story takes place on island in Atlantic Ocean more than a thousand years before Columbus.
