Braver bloggers than I have covered this story, complete with videos and sonnets, here and here. Commenting on the weirdness of this story and the forced effort to match a simulacrum of Dick with his ideas would be redundant. What I do find interesting is that the robot is very much a late 1970s kinda guy. Even in this disembodied gnostic future, Dick finds his truth in the past. If there is anything intrinsically Dickian here, anything that feels familiar and recalls this long-missed writer, it is that the robot is a time capsule.
