He died in , at age 53, due to complications from a stroke. Dick's writing produced 44 published novels and approximately short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime.

When Philip was five, his father was transferred to Reno, Nevada ; when Dorothy refused to move, she and Joseph divorced. Both parents fought for custody of Philip, which was awarded to the mother.

His lowest grade was a "C" in Written Composition, although a teacher remarked that he "shows interest and ability in story telling". He was educated in Quaker schools. He and fellow science fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin were members of the same graduating class but did not know each other at the time.

After graduation, he briefly attended the University of California, Berkeley , September to November 11, with an honorable dismissal granted January 1, Dick did not declare a major and took classes in history, psychology, philosophy, and zoology. Through his studies in philosophy, he believed that existence is based on internal human perception, which does not necessarily correspond to external reality; he described himself as "an acosmic panentheist ," believing in the universe only as an extension of God.

This question from his early studies persisted as a theme in many of his novels. Dick dropped out because of ongoing anxiety problems, according to his third wife Anne's memoir.

She also says he disliked the mandatory ROTC training. Dick sold his first story in , and from then on wrote full-time. In , he wrote that he was willing to "take twenty to thirty years to succeed as a literary writer". The dream of mainstream success formally died in January when the Scott Meredith Literary Agency returned all of his unsold mainstream novels. Only one of these works, Confessions of a Crap Artist , was published during Dick's lifetime.

Even in his later years, he continued to have financial troubles. In the introduction to the short story collection The Golden Man , Dick wrote:. Several years ago, when I was ill, Heinlein offered his help, anything he could do, and we had never met; he would phone me to cheer me up and see how I was doing. He wanted to buy me an electric typewriter , God bless him—one of the few true gentlemen in this world. I don't agree with any ideas he puts forth in his writing, but that is neither here nor there. I think a great deal of him and his wife; I dedicated a book to them in appreciation.

Robert Heinlein is a fine-looking man, very impressive and very military in stance; you can tell he has a military background, even to the haircut. He knows I'm a flipped-out freak and still he helped me and my wife when we were in trouble. That is the best in humanity, there; that is who and what I love. Having struggled with amphetamine abuse for much of the past decade stemming in part from his need to maintain a prolific writing regimen due to the financial exigencies of the science fiction field , he allowed other drug users to move into the house.

Following the release of 21 novels between and , these developments were exacerbated by unprecedented periods of writer's block , with Dick ultimately failing to publish new fiction until One day in November, Dick returned to his home to discover that it had been burglarized, with his safe blown open and personal papers missing.

The police were unable to determine the culprit, and even suspected Dick of having done it himself. Within a day of arriving at the conference and giving his speech The Android and the Human , he informed people that he had fallen in love with a woman named Janis whom he had met there and announced that he would be remaining in Vancouver. This was followed by Janis ending her and Dick's relationship and moving away.

On March 23, , Dick attempted suicide by taking an overdose of the sedative potassium bromide. Upon relocating to Orange County, California at the behest of California State University, Fullerton professor Willis McNelly who initiated a correspondence with Dick during his X-Kalay stint , he donated manuscripts , papers and other materials to the University's Special Collections Library, where they are archived in the Philip K.

During this period, Dick befriended a circle of Fullerton State students that encompassed several aspiring science fiction writers, including K. Jeter , James Blaylock and Tim Powers. Dick returned to the events of these months while writing his novel A Scanner Darkly , [22] which contains fictionalized depictions of the burglary of his home, his time using amphetamines and living with addicts, and his experiences of X-Kalay portrayed in the novel as "New-Path".

A factual account of Dick's recovery program participation was portrayed in his posthumously released book The Dark Haired Girl , a collection of letters and journals from the period.

On February 20, , while recovering from the effects of sodium pentothal administered for the extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth , Dick received a home delivery of Darvon from a young woman. When he opened the door, he was struck by the beauty of the dark-haired girl and was especially drawn to her golden necklace. He asked her about its curious fish-shaped design. Dick called the symbol the "vesicle pisces". This name seems to have been based on his conflation of two related symbols, the Christian ichthys symbol two intersecting arcs delineating a fish in profile which the woman was wearing, and the vesica piscis.

Dick recounted that as the sun glinted off the gold pendant, the reflection caused the generation of a "pink beam" of light that mesmerized him. He came to believe the beam imparted wisdom and clairvoyance, and also believed it to be intelligent. On one occasion, Dick was startled by a separate recurrence of the pink beam.

It imparted the information to him that his infant son was ill. The Dicks rushed the child to the hospital, where his suspicion was confirmed by professional diagnosis. After the woman's departure, Dick began experiencing strange hallucinations. Although initially attributing them to side effects from medication, he considered this explanation implausible after weeks of continued hallucinations.

Throughout February and March , Dick experienced a series of hallucinations, which he referred to as "", [19] shorthand for February—March Aside from the "pink beam", Dick described the initial hallucinations as geometric patterns, and, occasionally, brief pictures of Jesus and ancient Rome.

As the hallucinations increased in length and frequency, Dick claimed he began to live two parallel lives, one as himself, "Philip K. At one point, Dick felt that he had been taken over by the spirit of the prophet Elijah. He believed that an episode in his novel Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said was a detailed retelling of a biblical story from the Book of Acts , which he had never read. The last novel Dick wrote was The Transmigration of Timothy Archer ; it was published shortly after his death in In , he and his second wife, Kleo Apostolides, received a visit from the FBI , which they believed to be the result of Kleo's socialist views and left-wing activities.

The couple briefly befriended one of the FBI agents. He was physically abusive with his third wife, Anne Williams Rubinstein; after one argument in , he attempted to push her off a cliff in a car, then later claimed she was trying to kill him, and convinced a psychiatrist to commit her involuntarily. After filing for divorce in , he moved to Oakland to live with a fan, Grania Davis.

Shortly after, he attempted suicide by driving off the road while she was a passenger. Dick tried to stay out of the political scene because of high societal turmoil from the Vietnam War ; however, he did show some anti-Vietnam War and anti-governmental sentiments. On February 17, , after completing an interview, Dick contacted his therapist, complaining of failing eyesight, and was advised to go to a hospital immediately, but did not.

The following day, he was found unconscious on the floor of his Santa Ana, California home, having suffered a stroke. On February 25, , Dick suffered another stroke in the hospital, which led to brain death. Five days later, on March 2, , he was disconnected from life support and died. After his death, Dick's father, Joseph, took his son's ashes to Riverside Cemetery in Fort Morgan, Colorado , section K, block 1, lot 56 , where they were buried next to his twin sister Jane, who died in infancy.

Her tombstone had been inscribed with both of their names at the time of her death, 53 years earlier. Dick's stories typically focus on the fragile nature of what is real and the construction of personal identity. His stories often become surreal fantasies, as the main characters slowly discover that their everyday world is actually an illusion assembled by powerful external entities, such as the suspended animation in Ubik , [36] vast political conspiracies or the vicissitudes of an unreliable narrator. The ground is liable to shift under your feet. A protagonist may find himself living out another person's dream, or he may enter a drug-induced state that actually makes better sense than the real world, or he may cross into a different universe completely.

Alternate universes and simulacra are common plot devices , with fictional worlds inhabited by common, working people, rather than galactic elites. Le Guin wrote, "but there are heroics. One is reminded of Dickens: Dick's self-named Exegesis also contained many notes on Jung in relation to theology and mysticism. Dick identified one major theme of his work as the question, "What constitutes the authentic human being?

Mental illness was a constant interest of Dick's, and themes of mental illness permeate his work. The novel Clans of the Alphane Moon centers on an entire society made up of descendants of lunatic asylum inmates. In , he wrote the essay titled "Schizophrenia and the Book of Changes". Dick himself was a drug user for much of his life. According to a interview in Rolling Stone , [40] Dick wrote all of his books published before while on amphetamines. He also experimented briefly with psychedelics , but wrote The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch , which Rolling Stone dubs "the classic LSD novel of all time", before he had ever tried them.

Despite his heavy amphetamine use, however, Dick later said that doctors told him the amphetamines never actually affected him, that his liver had processed them before they reached his brain. Summing up all these themes in Understanding Philip K. Dick , Eric Carl Link discussed eight themes or 'ideas and motifs': Dick had two professional stories published under the pen names Richard Phillipps and Jack Dowland.

The protagonist desires to be the muse for fictional author Jack Dowland, considered the greatest science fiction author of the 20th century. The surname Dowland refers to Renaissance composer John Dowland , who is featured in several works. In the novel The Divine Invasion , the character Linda Fox, created specifically with Linda Ronstadt in mind, is an intergalactically famous singer whose entire body of work consists of recordings of John Dowland compositions. The Man in the High Castle is set in an alternate history in which the United States is ruled by the victorious Axis powers.
