Philip K. Dick spent his career writing paranoid, reality-bending science fiction and, by his own account, living through some of it himself. This film traces his life from pulp novelist churning out books for grocery-store racks to a writer convinced he had received a message from a pink laser beam in 1974, an experience he spent his final years trying to explain in an eight-thousand-page journal called the Exegesis. Friends, family, and scholars talk through his amphetamine-fueled writing schedule, his five marriages, his brushes with the FBI, and the mystical experience that reshaped his last novels. The film treats Dick's paranoia and his visions as inseparable from his fiction, showing how ideas that later became Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report grew directly out of a mind that genuinely doubted what was real. It is less interested in debunking him than in sitting with the strangeness he left behind, including a body of work that anticipated surveillance culture and simulated reality decades early.
