The Postmodern Humanism of Philip K. Dick (Jason Vest)

The Postmodern Humanism of Philip K. Dick —Scarecrow Press, March 28, 2009.
Jason Vest argues that PKD adapts the conventions of science fiction and postmodernism to reflect humanist concerns about the difficulties of maintaining identity, agency, and autonomy in the latter half of the twentieth century. By comparing his writing to that of Kafka, Borges, and Calvino, The Postmodernism Humanism of Philip K. Dick demonstrates that Dick's fiction is a fascinating barometer of postmodern American life, even as it participates in an international tradition of visionary literature.
