“There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me."
― Philip K. Dick, American science fiction writer, 1928-1982

Writing in the New York Times on October 26, 2022, book critic Molly Young had this to say about PKD: "The best of his work is fueled by nuclear-strength imagination, grand metaphysical and theological explorations, and prescience in matters of technology, marketing, consumerism, media, and ecological catastrophe. Dick picked up on sinister cultural undercurrents the way a cat senses a can of tuna being opened six rooms away."

PS - While reviewing "The Adjustment Bureau", the guys discover they both worked at the Hudson's Bay Company 40 years ago and may have inflicted the same non-life threatening injury on themselves while doing so.
