Exploring the intersection of Philip K. Dick's science fiction and postmodernist theory, this thesis delves into themes of human identity and the nature of reality in a seemingly deceptive world. It highlights the parallels between Dick's work and the ideas of theorists like Jameson, Baudrillard, and McHale, who share an appreciation for the genre. The analysis reveals insights not only into Dick's literary style but also into contemporary existential questions, making it relevant to our understanding of life in an era that surpasses even science fiction's imagination.
