While writing #Guest, I became fascinated with the work of Philip K. Dick. I was intrigued by the way he plunges the reader into a world of his own creation, often plunging them deep into a completely different world with little explanation of how that world works. He is rightfully considered one of the great Sci Fi writers of the 20th century. I was eager to use some of his world-building techniques in a book about the world of DIY culture and #anarchism. The Three Stigmata is considered one of his great works, a Mars set parable in which the mysterious Palmer Eldritch works his ways into consumers' consciousness. #pkd #sciencefiction #philipkdick #palmereldritch #bookstagram
