I'm a former student of Tim Powers (David in VALIS), fellow writer and good friend of PKD. He has no idea what the break-in was all about, but he doesn't think it was the government. He was also convinced that there was absolutely nothing wron with PKD, but he began to go a little wierd just before the VALIS era. One day he called up KW Jeter saying he could forive peoples sins. Jeter got pissed so he forgave his cats sins instead then called Tim Powers to tell him all about it.

I've read A Scanner Darkly, DADOES, and a lot of his short stories. The man was a genius ahead of his time. It's fucked up that someone so incredibly talented was so poor.

ive felt that way aswell that homelesness or a lifestyle free of social constructs would usher in a sense of freedom that feels so distant sometimes that is until i read an article that numerous states in the u.s. had begun rfid chipping the homeless allegedly to lower crime rates witch sounds rather suspect to me beta testing is more like it this movie was so good! cant wait to read the book

It probably wasn't the government who broke into his house, just a junkie after something valuble to sell for drugs! As for Dick, all said and done he was an inspired thinker, but was it just the drugs taking control? Pushing him forward by a century or so, it does happen.

ya know, i'm under the conviction that the paranoia that dick mentioned, such as the gov breaking into his home and stealing his files, is an inspiration for some to be "homeless". the government cannot trace you easily w/out a license, green card, license plate, home computer, or any other registered address, technology, or id--all of which cost money. i've gone paranoid myself over those issues and without reason as well.

You can only think of one thing at a time, so turn that paranoia into something more productive ;p
