This document is a PDF export of a slide presentation delivered by Gabriel McKee at the Philip K. Dick Festival on June 14, 2024. The talk, titled 'I Am a Machine: Programming and Control in Dick's Exegesis,' examines themes of mechanical determinism, programming, and control as they appear throughout Dick's Exegesis, his massive private philosophical and theological journal. The slides reference specific Exegesis folders -- folders 82, 34, 22, and 90 -- indicating that McKee engaged in close reading of particular passages across multiple sections of the unpublished manuscript. All Exegesis images used in the presentation are credited to the Zebrapedia Project, a collaborative transcription initiative hosted on FromThePage.com that is working to make the handwritten Exegesis digitally accessible. The presentation also references a letter from Dick to Claudia Bush dated July 30, 1974, situating Dick's reflections on determinism and mechanical consciousness within his early post-2-3-74 correspondence. Visual materials in the slides include the first German edition of VALIS, published by Moewig in Rastatt, Germany, in 1984, with translation credited to Helmut Wenske, and an engraving by Pierre Miotte from Athanasius Kircher's Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae (1646) depicting the effects of planets on parts of the body, sourced from the Wellcome Collection. The inclusion of Kircher's seventeenth-century illustration of astrological-anatomical correspondences suggests McKee drew thematic parallels between early modern conceptions of cosmic determinism and Dick's own explorations of whether human beings are 'programmed' by external forces. The presentation represents contemporary scholarly engagement with Dick's Exegesis at a community-oriented festival setting, bridging academic analysis with fan scholarship. McKee's focus on the machine metaphor in the Exegesis connects to broader themes in Dick's fiction concerning the boundaries between humans and automata, free will and determinism, and authentic versus counterfeit consciousness.
