More about the book

Exploring the interplay between science fiction and psychological conditions, Laurence A. Rickels examines Philip K. Dick's works through the lens of schizophrenia and psychopathy. He investigates how these themes reflect the Cold War era, analyzing key texts like The Simulacra and Fahrenheit 451. The study highlights the evolution of the genre from Nazi Germany to the post-WWII landscape, addressing the impact of psychopathic violence on society and the genre's narrative. Rickels argues for a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical contexts shaping modern science fiction.
