This is entirely wrong. It's about presuming that our present world would have been exactly like it is now if we had lost - but we won and we did all of this to ourselves.

He obviously puts his own identity and existence as individual at doubt. What are you? What can you tell about yourself for sure? Do you even exist as someone with paticular percieved personality?

>> No.13755284

>>13752971
Many. One of the main points is that the boundary between acting as if and 'being' isn't clear at all. And that being human is not a 'being' but a 'doing' to 'be' human is to be made to 'be' human. Being human requires multiple artifacts that provide humanity.

a lof of dick's works have no point per se. that's one reason they won't consider him literature. in this book, you're just exploring what life would be like if you were an android or interacting with one.
