Just one brief assignment for this demanding month, a mere essay, online and free to all:

“How to Build a Universe that Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later” by Philip K. Dick

As made famous in the film Waking Life‘s “Tango of Yes” scene, this essay regards the mystical claims made about Dick’s celebrated novel, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said.

DISCUSSION JUMP STARTS:

1) Compare the events here with those in the Will Ferrell movie Stranger Than Fiction.

2) Does this essay bolster Rachel’s hypothesis that, yes, time is wrong?
