Book Reviews of What If Our World Is Their Heaven? The Final Conversations Of Philip K. Dick

Book Review: A look at the scenes - not behind
Summary: 5 Stars

A comfortably disorienting walk with a old friend.
When I 1st was introduced to P.K.D. in the mid 70's It came, like so much of my life during that time, from one I admired, trusted and learned ao much from. "Ever read Phillip K. Dick?", he asked seiing that I was looking for my next book. "No.", I said, takimg the book.
Even though I was a reader from an age not old enough for school yet, and though sci-fi was my subject of choice most often the author was new to me. I can't recall the title of the novel but if my memory is not as shot as some tell me it is, the story was 'different' to say the least.
Today "different' is the highest compliment I give to art, music and stories. I remember Sister Dominic answering this 3rd grader's question (somwthing most nun's had come to dread or ignore) about the difference between creating and making something. Always to the point, she told me "men make things. Only God can create a thing/ Things are made from other things. Creations come to be from nothing." It was probably the only reply from the catholic school I have come to hold as 'gospel'.
the worlds P.K.D. created were as origional, complex, mysteries luring the reader into an almost overwhelming existence.
This book is time spent with the creator and the interviewer asking questios and soliciting reflection on things we, had we been there, would have asked.
If you're a P.K.D. reader then you want to read this.
