5X: Philip K. Dick
Widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative speculative fiction writers of the 20th century, Philip K. Dick’s work is distinguished by its multiform explorations of reality, identity, technology, consciousness, and the fundamental nature of the human experience.
Often utilizing dystopian or altered realities, philosophical inquiry, intellectual depth, and psychological complexity, his work has long served as a fertile canvas for cinematic adaptation. The films in this series—adapted from his writings—embrace Dick’s visionary ideas around the questionable nature of reality; implications of technology and surveillance; the tension between free will and predestination; and questions about empathy, consciousness, and moral agency.
