The X in Exegesis, Preview Edition: Philip K. Dick's Religious Speculations

by Tessa B. Dick

Philip K. Dick, whose stories inspired Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall and many other films, experienced visions in 1974 as a sort of rescue from harassment that he had suffered for several years. His house was invaded, he was run out of town, he fled the country and he tried to kill himself. His visions of 1974 provided him with healing messages that led him on a journey of research and speculation into religion, philosophy and science that consumed the final 8 years of his life. Experts might question the nature of his visions, but the harassment that led up to them was real.
