Hollywood’s favorite science fiction writer, Philip K. Dick, who brought billions of dollars to the film and television industry, lived in poverty all his life, only 53 years old. In the eyes of the world, PKD’s life is shrouded in the shadow of schizophrenia; he himself believes that there are two Dicks: one lives in the present, and the other is in ancient Rome, “The Empire Never Ended”. The biopic revolves around Dick’s house break-in in the 1970s, as his four marriages come to an end while trying to get over his writing hurdles by kicking his drug addiction. Dick alleges that the home was burgled, the safe was broken open, and the manuscripts were looted. He claimed that the KGB or the FBI, who had been monitoring him, was responsible, and later changed his mind to say that he took the items himself. From the perspective of an onlooker, Dick is plagued by drugs and schizophrenia, and reality and fantasy have long been blurred. Dick has stopped believing in truth since he was 13 years old. What is truth? This proposition haunted him all his life, and his works record the mental journey of exploring this proposition. “He’s a person as surreal as his books”
