Horselover Fat experiences a religious awakening when he’s hit by a beam of pink light. Fat's quest for meaning is populated with rockstars, a godlike toddler, his buddy's dead cat, and Philip K. Dick himself.

Rooted in Philip K. Dick's own experience, the Valis Trilogy are his most explicitly religious books and the last ones he published before he died. We'll continue with parts 2 and 3 of the trilogy in our next episodes.
