About Philip K. Dick: The Dream Connection
Philip K. Dick: Speaking His Mind audiocassette offer
This exceptional anthology includes:
* Over eight hours of interviews with noted science fiction author Philip K. Dick...more than 30,000 words, including 8,000 words on his March, 1974, "mystical experiences"-the most complete and most personal account ever published outside the Exegesis.
* Philip K. Dick speaking in depth on:
—What is really real?
—Who is really human?
—What is sanity? What is madness?
—Why do I do it?
...and much, much more.

* Numerous supplementary essays, including:
—Robert Anton Wilson on PKD's mystical experiences
—R. Faraday Nelson on his friendship and collaboration with PKD, and PKD's unwritten books
—A rarely-seen short story by PKD in which he fictionalizes his mystical experiences
—Theodore Sturgeon's comments on PKD's philosophy
—Two additional essays and selected correspondence from PKD
* Finally, an interview segment so bizarre, so shocking, that it must be read to be believed! Even hard-core Philip Dick readers will have their beliefs in "what is real" shaken.
All material is unique to this volume (with the exception of the PKD short story, which was first published in the original edition of this book). Reading this book is an experience you will not soon forget.

CRITICAL PRAISE for the original (1987) edition of
Philip K. Dick: The Dream Connection
From Lawrence Sutin, author of Divine Invasions: A Life of Philip K. Dick:
"Hands-down the most joyous and entertaining book on Philip K. Dick."
From LOCUS, The Newspaper of the Science Fiction Field (July, 1987):
"...a useful addition to collections among the Dick flood."
From The PHILIP K. DICK SOCIETY NEWSLETTER (March, 1987):
"...the quality of the 30,000 word interview is outstanding and quite deserving of book form. But what is surprising and especially pleasing is the very high quality of the other material included in this generous volume.... PKD readers will find it as good a companion volume to *VALIS* as is likely to appear. The book is marvelous in its page-for-page content and its intricate cross-currents...a heck of a lot of fun."
From SCIENCE FICTION CHRONICLE (November, 1987):
"...A very impressive must-read for serious PKD readers...I literally could not put this book down. Reading the interview, you get the uncanny sensation that you're sitting in the room rapping with PKD himself. [The] interview...is very lucid and strikes to the heart of what really made PKD tick."
From MAGICAL BLEND Magazine (February, 1988):
"Of all the books I've read in the past year, none has impressed and moved me quite as much as Scott Apel's Philip K. Dick: The Dream Connection... [The interview is] not only intellectually exciting but deeply moving... There are more books about Phil Dick coming out every few months, it seems. Few of them...have shown as much insight and empathy as this anthology... Phil Dick's spirit is indeed alive and brilliantly shining in this mind-boggling book."

According to Science Fiction Chronicle (November, 1987),
"Reading the interview, you get the uncanny sensation that you’re sitting in the room rapping with PKD himself."
