Fantasía & Ciencia ficción

Philip K. Dick was born on December 16, 1928, in Chicago, Illinois. His family moved frequently during his childhood, primarily due to his father's job, but also due to his parents' divorce when he was young, which led him to live with his mother. This nomadic childhood would influence his later writings, which often feature themes of dislocation and uncertainty. Philip attended Berkeley High School in California. He was a voracious reader, particularly of science fiction, which deeply influenced his literary interests. After high school, he briefly attended the University of California, Berkeley, but did not graduate. Instead, he started writing science fiction, selling his first short story, "Roog," in 1952 to The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. This began his prolific career where he would write over 120 short stories and 44 published novels. Dick's early works were primarily published in pulp magazines, but he soon transitioned to novels. His writing was characterized by its exploration of philosophical, theological, and psychological themes, often questioning the nature of reality, identity, and humanity. Notable works from this period include:

The Man in the High Castle (1962) - An alternate history novel where the Axis powers won World War II, which won the Hugo Award.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) - Later adapted into the film "Blade Runner," exploring themes of artificial intelligence and what it means to be human.

Ubik (1969) - A complex narrative dealing with reality, death, and corporate power.

Posthumously, Dick's influence has only grown. His works have been adapted into numerous films, TV shows, and other media, reflecting ongoing interest in his visions of dystopian futures, surveillance, simulated realities, and the essence of human consciousness.
