Dick composed some of his most important works here. In many ways, the OC is a peculiarly Dickian space, with managed communities and a veneer of the unreal. Conversely, Dick's late novels seem at least partly inspired by Dick's life in the OC. Our panel will explore such connections, bringing the work of the century's most noted SF author to bear on our cultural imagination of Orange County.

st partly inspired by
Dick's life in the OC.
Our panel will explore
such connections, bri

century's most noted S
