Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

"Once, in a cheap science fiction novel, Fat had come across a perfect description of the Black Iron Prison but set in the far future. So if you superimposed the past (ancient Rome) over the present (California in the twentieth century) and superimposed the far future world of The Android Cried Me a River over that, you got the Empire, the Black Iron Prison, as the supra- or trans-temporal constant. Everyone who had ever lived was literally surrounded by the iron walls of the prison. They were all inside it and none of them knew it."

-Phillip K. Dick, Valis

*To the degree I think daily about the Roman Empire, it's in the context of Phillip K. Dick's revelation that it never actually ended.

i just finished reading Phillip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and i was trying to get my thoughts in order, so I decided to do a bit of background research.

I am now staring at the wikipedia page for theodicy and wondering how this man lived for so long. someone broke into his house and blew up his file folders. a neo-nazi group allegedly tried to involve him. he wrote most/all of his works before 1970 while under the influence of amphetamine. 21 books in 10 years. he wrote a letter to the FBI about Thomas Disch and said a covert anti-american organisation attempted to recruit him. i can't tell if its the same one as before. a woman came to his door, a beam of pink light imparted wisdom and clairvoyance. the beam came back later and told him his infant son was ill, which turned out to be true. he was married five times.

this is not a little bit of research. how did this happen. how did i end up here. i'm questioning if the world exists, and that's exactly what he would have wanted

#do androids dream of electric sheep #phillip k dick #books #and yes his books are about blurred realities #mental illness #drug use & abuse #humanity and empathy #i wondered how he came up with the idea for this book while i was reading it and now i know #i don't know what to tag this

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

Do you think it is possible that Rhaegar's melancholiac nature and obsession with prophecies were partly driven by his very unstable family life? That he would escape his abusive father by immersing himself it scrolls and whatnot to get his mind off his clearly insane father who was abusing his mother which led to his depression?

Anything's possible, but I think his obsession with Summerhall came more from the fact that he was born there, amidst so much tragedy. I get more of the sense of Phillip K. Dick's mentality of his twin sister dying that placed a pall over his life and significantly influenced his temperament and vision as an artist. But a terrible home life can lead to escapist tendencies, so it's entirely possible. We'd need GRRM to tell us for sure.

Thanks for the question, Anon.
