El Sueno de Una Cosa


‘Today, we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups [...] So I ask, in my writing: what is real?

I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.’
Philip K. Dick, ‘How To Build a Universe that Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later’, 1978
