You Have Doubtlessly Seen The Movies Based Upon What We Have All Come to Believe Are Exceptionally Brilliant Science Fiction Novels Written By The Late Philip K. Dick . . .

This is a universe that cannot be so easily grasped or explained. The well-known collector of scientific curiosities, Charles Fort, is often quoted as having said: "The Earth is a farm. We are someone's property." He likened our condition to being movable pieces on a chess board. "There is no doubt that we are under some sort of surveillance and that an 'invisible hand' has the ability to carve out our existence and 'interfere' in our daily lives by creating a vari
