In the second half of our show on Philip K. Dick, the Vikings meander through the multiple mind states of our fearless author picking apart the events and aftermaths of what came to be known as the V.A.L.I.S trilogy.

We discuss the final work of PKD which, unfortunately, was never completed and how that project known as “The Owl in Daylight” shows PKD prophecizing his own demise 2 weeks before it’s occurrance.

Throughout his work PKD not only defined a new class of sci-fi hero - the delinquent savante - but also challenged our notion of what it means to be sane, what it means to be insane, and what it means to come to realize that our defining organism - the artist who created this whole mess of several worlds, the organism we all may be but fingers upon fingers of the same self within - may itself be as batty as the most batty amongst us.
