Six months before his death in 1982, Gwen Lee recorded the first of several in-depth discussions with Philip K Dick, discussions which continued over the course of three months. The subjects touched upon included the specifics of his writing process, his reaction to the scenes and trailers of Blade Runner (he never lived to see the finished film), and accounts of his religious experiences. The greatest amount of time was devoted to discussions of his final book Owl in Daylight which remained unfinished. Essential reading for anyone interested in science fiction.… (més)

A really interesting set of interviews with PKD, and you get to read about how his mind works. He's given to rambling and going off on long tangents - and he's also very witty. He's definitely an original thinker, one who moved incredibly fast, right up until the end.

His discussions of the experience of 2-3-74 are also very interesting. You get the impression that he's very sincere. ( )

First of all, the choice of title for this book is excellent. It made me buy the book without a second's thought. I'm sorry to say that the title was also the best thing about this slim volume. The text consists of interviews with PKD, conducted by some woman who seems kind of lost and rarely understands what he is talking about. She hasn't read any of his works it seems and she just doesn't keep up with PKD:s mercurial mind. When he's talking about the bible, she thinks he's talking about his novel etc etc. The interviews are also transcribed from tapes, which always seem to end just when PKD enters into interesting territories. Much of the book is about the Bladerunner movie, and is pretty boring. It would've been interesting to read before the movie came out, but now that you've already seen it's kind of meaningless. "What if our world is their heaven" is not a bad read, but the highlights are not as many as you would hope. There are some really good parts where PKD discusses his novel Owl in Daylight which unfortunately he passed away before he could finish. Also he discusses his 2-3-1974 experiences a bit, and also a bit of the exegesis, Greek philosophy and similar topics we're used to hearing PKD talking about. These parts are mindboggling and great as always, but unfortuantely they only make out a minute portion of the book. If I could have my way, this book would have been 15 pages long and then it would have been an excellent read. ( )

Just the title is enough to get us thinking.
