Heard this fascinating piece about Philip K Dick on Radio 4 this evening. As said elsewhere I think his SF was brilliant, but found him dubious. What I hadn't realised is that he thought he may have encountered God towards the end of his life and has written about it.

He had been mentally ill and was an LSD user, but he was intrigued by the pink light experience being something else. Apparently he also spoke latin on a 'trip', and may have been a gladiator in a former life...

Interesting programme if you like that sort of thing - And I do.
