Today we once again hear the words from one of the greats in science fiction. A man whose work wasn’t appreciated enough when he was alive but is celebrated today, Philip K. Dick. Dick struggled with anxiety and drug addiction throughout much of his life. In 1982 he called his therapist and said he was going blind. He was told to go to the emergency room but instead he stayed home. He was found unconscious and suffered a stroke on the way to the hospital. When his family was told there was no brain activity, he was removed from life support. Philip K. Dick died March 2nd, 1982.

This is the 3rd Philip K. Dick short sci-fi story we’ve featured on our podcast. In Episode 11 you’ll hear The Eyes Have It and Episode 1 contains The Hanging Stranger. Rest assured there will be more.

Next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, From out beyond the second sun he came; a fugitive froma dead and sterile world ... seeking solace, friends, ahome, on Earth—a planet of even greater terrors…
