Autorenporträt
Philip Kindred Dick was an American science fiction writer and novelist born on December 16, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois. Over the course of his career, Dick wrote 44 novels and around 121 short stories, most of which were published in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. His works often explored themes of altered states of consciousness, the nature of reality, and the complex relationships between humans and technology. Dick was heavily influenced by writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, H.G. Wells, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose philosophical themes resonated with Dick's own explorations of identity, perception, and control. His most famous works include Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968), which was adapted into the iconic film Blade Runner, and The Man in the High Castle (1962), an alternate history novel about a world where the Axis powers won World War II. His influence on the science fiction genre and beyond continues to be immense, with many of his stories adapted into films and TV series, solidifying his status as one of the most important writers in speculative fiction.
