I read Philip K. Dick when I was doing a lot of acid. I think it may have ruined my brain. I love how all the best American authors were totally geeked on benzedrine. Dick was not into hallucinogens. He was a speed freak. He experienced amphetamine psychosis, caused by excess dopamine held in the synapses when you take too much adderall / benzedrine / amphetamine sulfate. Excess dopamine is also associated with Schizophrenia (the medical disorder, not the theoretical appropriation, lol). And by the way, the reason he chose 1974 was that this was the end of Nixon's presidency.
