Free Online Lecture · Confessions of a Total Dick-Head with David Gill of SF State University

FREE! Learn more and RSVP HERE

David Gill has spent the last twenty five years obsessed with the famed sci fi writer Philip K. Dick. Progressing from a fan, to a scholar, to an expert writing a biography, David's engagement with the notoriously strange and brilliant science fiction writer has shaped almost every aspect of his life for the past two decades, from becoming a creative writing major, to a graduate student in literature, to a teacher at San Francisco State University for the last eighteen years. On a deeper level, David's engagement with novels like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (later filmed as Blade Runner) and The Man in the High Castle (in which the Axis powers win World War II) has taught him everything from ethics to psychology to how to be a good person. Tonight, David will share the story of his journey as well as a bit of the wisdom gained.
