Description: Translated by Timothy Bent, I Am Alive and You Are Dead: A Journey into the Mind of Philip K. Dick is written in the riveting style that won accolades for The Adversary, Emmanuel Carrere follows Dick's strange odyssey from his traumatic beginnings in 1928, when his twin sister died in infancy, to his lonely end in 1982, beset by mystical visions of swirling pink light, three-eyed invaders, and messages from the Roman Empire. As disturbing and engrossing as a work by Dick himself, Carrere's unconventional biography interweaves life and art to reveal the maddening genius whose writing foresaw--from closing to reality TV--a world that looks ever more like one of his inventions. Philip K. Dick was not only one of the most valiant psychological explorers of the 20th century, but a source of divine revelation. Dick, whose work inspired films like Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Paycheck, dedicated his life to solving one ultimately unanswerable question: What is real?
