This document is a comprehensive audit of Philip K. Dick's documented public appearances, speeches, and interviews, compiled from multiple primary sources including the official philipdick.com archives, Frank C. Bertrand's research on missing or problem interviews, The Last Interview and Other Conversations anthology, and various fan scholarship databases.
Key findings establish that Dick was profoundly reclusive, with nearly all of his public-facing life occurring between 1972 and 1982. Virtually nothing is documented from the 1960s when he wrote his greatest works. Only three formal speeches are documented: "The Android and the Human" delivered at the Vancouver SF Convention in 1972, "If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others" delivered at the Metz Science Fiction Festival in France in 1977, and "How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later" from 1978, which may never have been delivered.
Dick's only international trip was to the Metz Science Fiction Festival in September 1977, which generated the densest cluster of recorded appearances. The most obscure appearances include a Norwegian journalist's 1971 visit and a 1972 three-part appearance. This audit is an invaluable reference for researchers seeking to understand the full scope of Dick's engagement with the public and the literary community.
