What If Our World Is Their Heaven?
The Final Conversations Of Philip K.
Dick by Tim Powers
Philip K. Dick Lives On
In the field of science fiction, the work of Philip K Dick is unparalleled. His
novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? became the classic science-
fiction film Blade Runner. His short story, The Minority Report, was
recently adapted for the screen by Stephen Spielberg and stars Tom
Cruise. Dick’s appeal and influence has reached the world over, creating
the standard for the literary science fiction novel. In November of 1982,
six months before the authors death, journalist Gwen Lee recorded the first
of several in-depth discussions with Philip K. Dick that continued over the
course over the next three months. These extraordinary interviews are
filled with the wit and aplomb characteristic of Dicks writing, helping make
What If Our World Is Their Heaven? not only an engaging read, but a
unique and compelling historical document. It will be a must read for
anyone interested in the field of science fiction.

Personal Review: What If Our World Is Their Heaven? The Final
Conversations Of Philip K. Dick by Tim Powers
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.
