A Life of Philip K. Dick: The Man Who Remembered the Future is a biographical work by Anthony Peake examining the life and experiences of Philip K. Dick. Peake, an author known for his investigations into consciousness, near-death experiences, and paranormal phenomena, brings a distinctive perspective to Dick's biography by taking seriously the extraordinary mystical and visionary experiences that dominated the final decade of Dick's life.
The subtitle signals Peake's particular interest in Dick's apparent precognitive abilities and his claims of accessing information beyond normal sensory channels. This positions the biography within the tradition of examining Dick not merely as a literary figure but as someone whose personal experiences of altered consciousness directly informed his fiction.
The text excerpt available is minimal (only 90 characters from a digital edition), containing only the title page information. The biography covers Dick's personal history, his prodigious fiction output spanning over 40 novels and 120 short stories, his troubled personal life including five marriages, his documented drug use, and his ongoing philosophical and theological investigations as recorded in the Exegesis.
