I wonder if there was a specific formula Philip K Dick had to write under, the perfect dosage of amphetamines to get the storylines juuust right haha #SF409
Has anyone ever read On The Road by Jack Kerouac? Our discussion last night reminded me of him in how he would write on scrolls of paper, and then try to edit/make sense of it after. #SF409
“It’s all on the surface. Advantage of wealth and power makes this available to them, but it’s ersatz as the day is long.” Kind of reminds me of The Feed. #SF409
Am I the only one who finds it fun to find the title in the book or in a movie/show? “His place is called— She glanced around the book jacket. The High Castle. That’s his pet name for it.” #SF409
“It depends on your racial group. On the good old armband. That was so. Slavs, Poles, Puerto Rican’s, were the most limited [...] the Anglo-Saxons had it much better” #SF409

“My appearance, he thought. Yes, that is it. How do I appear? There is no deceiving anyone. I do not belong here. [...] I am an outsider in my own country” #SF409
“Good lord—the young Japanese student, while driving him to his hotel, would no doubt attempt to converse with him in Swedish the entire way” sounds like your typical uber ride #SF409
