Foundation: The Review of Science Fiction, Issue 25 (June 1982) is edited by David Pringle, with Ian Watson as features editor, John Clute as reviews editor, and Charles Barren as administrator. This issue appeared in the month of Philip K. Dick's death (March 1982), making it a document from a pivotal moment in the reception history of Dick's work.
The issue features Thomas M. Disch on SF as a church, Phyllis Eisenstein discussing her sources, John Sladek on his midwestern childhood, W.M.S. Russell on folktales and science fiction, Gregory Feeley exploring the works of Jack Dann, Sue Jenkins comparing Star Trek and Blake's Seven, and John Schellenberger on SF and mind-sprung. Letters are included from Chauvin, Michael Moorcock, and Stine.
Reviews by Barbour, Clute, Ferguson, Greenland, Kaveney, Langford, Lewicki, Pratt, Sladek, Stableford, Watson, and Wolfe cover books by A.A. Attanasio, Peter Carey, Christopher Evans, Lee Killough, Julian May, Michael Moorcock, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, Frederik Pohl, Bob Shaw, and others. Foundation was one of the most important academic journals for science fiction criticism, and this issue documents the state of SF scholarship at the moment Dick's death transformed his literary reputation.
