Philip K. Dick

 In 'I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon', first essay he has a neat chiasm. He starts with Disneyland/simulacra, and ends with no to Disneyland/sumulacra and real birds singing.

 
In the meantime, he says he has been motivated by 2 questions: What is reality? What constitutes the authentic human being?
 
He answers both, the second very surprisingly! (Note: In Gilder's 'Life After Capitalism' (he means the 'old' capitalit]sm) he says that information is surprise. He also has surprising info on dreams and coincidences.
 

Take a look at some of the fantastic resources out there, available on websites like Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, Open Library, and the Directory of Open Access Books.

 

Love in King Jesus,
