Philip Dick

In the field of art, death can bring more glory to their works. Many artists' works are suddenly accepted by the public and receive high honors after death. The artist we are most familiar with is Van Gogh, and Philip Dick, the subject of this biography, is the Van Gogh of literature. The same posthumous fame, the same miserable life, even the same mental illness, the same living in their own fictional world.

Philip Dick, affectionately known as Phil, has an important place in the history of modern science fiction. He really came to our attention when many of his works were adapted for film and television. Blade Runner is one of his representative works. Now, let's open the biographer Lawrence SaTing after Philip dick's death, according to the people around he visited a lot of dick, including his former wife, friends, writers and so on the understanding of his people, by the which the holy invasion: Philip dick's life, really opened the science genius master legend life.

Modern psychological research shows that people's character is determined by their childhood environment. Phil's lifelong pain may have been caused by his dysfunctional childhood. Phil had a twin sister who died shortly after birth. This was definitely the biggest loss in his life, and the impact was made worse by his mother's attitude. She always believed that his sister had starved to death. In phil's young mind, he believed that he was responsible for her death. His sister's early death made his father pay too much attention to Phil. The influence of his mother's remorse, his father's attention, his own self-blame, and so on, marked Phil's life in a very bad way, which may be the cause of his later mental illness. His sister also had a great influence on his later literary works. For example, in his work Dr. Blood Money, the image of twins appeared, which is his memorial to his sister.

Phil also showed early talent for literature. At the age of 12, he began to publish poetry and began to focus on science fiction. At the age of 13, she self-published the newspaper Truth and finished her first novel at the age of 14. It was also at this point, of course, that the depression and phobias that plagued phyl throughout his life began to affect her.

Finally on the steps of adulthood, any child into the adult society will experience a series of stories. Phil, of course, is no exception. Escaping from his mother, a brief marriage, allows him to mature and grow up. Of course, his literary footsteps did not stop, and his work in mainstream literature did not go well until he moved into science fiction, where His first science fiction story, Vaughan, earned him his first payment. From then on, Phil began a period of prolific writing. In the quietest eight years of his life (1951-1958), Phil produced 80 short stories and 13 full-length novels -- six science fiction and seven mainstream literature. All science fiction was published, but all mainstream literature died. At that time, science fiction was not respected and did not get the honor it deserved in American society, and Phil was always ashamed that his works were classified as science fiction. He still yearned for the recognition of mainstream literature, but god played such a big joke that Phil struggled to get closer to mainstream literature, but his literary achievements kept him firmly in the field of science fiction.

Compared with his literary output, Phil's life has always been a tumultuous one, with five marriages. Perhaps there was a restlessness in his character; Perhaps literary creation requires a more restless soul. Phil's love life was extremely unstable, and he even took drugs later in his life. In this unstable life and the creation of extreme pressure, Phil's mental state also found instability. Perhaps it was this unstable state of mind that created a unique experience for Phil. The number "2-3-74" represented a series of visions that Phil had in his head between February and March 1974. This series of unexplainable illusions may be the reason that Phil is on the verge of schizophrenia or the inspiration of his long-term sci-fi creation. But in general, these illusions have a positive impact on Phil's later sci-fi creation. It was the basis for the novel Sacred Secrets, which became Phil's most important work.

Phil's life finally began to spring. The book he was very happy with was finished, phil was getting the credit he deserved, and the royalties on the book kept rising. His financial situation improved greatly, but his health deteriorated. He collapsed on the floor of his apartment, lost consciousness after a stroke and died of heart failure at the age of 53.

Philip DICK is such a science fiction writer living in his fantasy world. His prolific literary works have left us great spiritual wealth. His legendary experience also led us to meet such a strange man. He was born for science fiction. He was the science fiction of life.
