Alvaro Zinos-Amaro: Penultimate Truths

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. - Iris Murdoch // The interplay of thought and imagination is far superior to that of muscle and sinew. - Isaac Asimov // The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. - Emily Dickinson // A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu // Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will. - Friedrich Nietzsche // The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. - Francis Bacon // Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are. - Soren Kierkegaard // The possible ranks higher than the actual. - Martin Heidegger //

Penultimate Truths

I recently caught a fascinating documentary about the strange life of Philip K. Dick. It has a somewhat silly framing device, but contains a ton of useful info and great interviews. The whole thing is available for free on YouTube:

"The Penultimate Truth about Philip K. Dick"

Also related to PKD, some news from Publishers Weekly:
