Why Androids Dream: Artificial Intelligence by Philip K.Dick - OpenMind

US author Philip K. Dick wrote around 40 novels and 120 short-stories on his writing machine. With this classic tool he created claustrophobic science fiction scenarios, writing less about alien invasions, but artificial intelligence. Doing so, he not only described technical possibilities, but furthermore described ethical concerns. Most of his stories featured different layers of reality, what his work compares to Franz Kafka. As all good science fiction, his stories were less an escape from reality, but the opposite, allowed us a view into a distorted mirror.
