Did anyone notice the high geek quotient of last Sunday’s Arts section of the NY Times? It featured a lengthy assessment of Philip K. Dick’s cultural significance as well as a fond recollection of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I need to pick up a few more Dick novels. I’ve read The Man in the High Castle and liked it (even though I found all the I Ching references a little tiresome), but that’s the extent of my familiarity with his oeuvre.
I’m leaving shortly to check out Peter Bjorn & John in concert. I expect to be charmed but not astounded.
