Electric Sleep

makersplace - exclusive edition

'Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups...

So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power.

They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing'. ― Philip K. Dick
