Darkness in literature: Philip K Dick's A Scanner Darkly

Even the book's nighttime is saturated with the electric glare of strip mall lighting and the glow of the television screen. And in a society that never switches off the lights, the dark has become internal. A Scanner Darkly is about a descent into the deep fears of our 24-hour consumer society: the twilight of intellectual and emotional collapse. The darkness of insanity. Dick dissects modern insanity through the cypher of Bob Arctor. A Scanner Darkly is late-phase Dick. Bob Arctor's life is really Dick's life over a two-year period, from 1970-72, after his fourth wife Nancy left him. Arctor falls further than his creator. The theme of darkness runs through literature as a metaphor for our fears. Etres naturels et artificiels dans l’univers de Philip K. Dick. How to Build a Universe: Philip K.

Dick android has finally been discovered in St. Petersburg, confiscated in an Interpol sting against the Russian software piracy syndicate "Little Bear.

" "They were using the head basically as a portable hard drive to transport pirated ebooks, movies, games, and data between Russia and South America," said Detective Andrei Supernov. Worth over $25,000, the head is able to conduct conversations, recognize faces in a crowd, make eye-contact, and quote long passages from Dick's own body of work, downloaded into the head with permission from the Dick Estate. The head has been missing for over four years, ever since its creator, computer scientist David Hanson, left it on a plane during a press junket for the film "A Scanner Darkly.
