Philip K. Dick 1977 video interview
In these short excerpts from a 1977 interview conducted at the "Festival du livre de science fiction," surrealist SF author Philip K. Dick talks about paranoia during the Nixon administration, the Berkeley counterculture, and A Scanner Darkly. From the interview, incorporated into a video made to promote the recent film adaptation of A Scanner Darkly:
Link (Thanks, Dave Gill!)The positions that writers such as myself hold in America are... very lowly. Science fiction is considered to be something for adolescents... high school kids... and for disturbed people in general to read.
