It’s an infamous period in the life of a writer who would give us dozens of novels, hundreds of short stories and the inspiration for some of Hollywood’s most fantastic mind-trips.

We’ll talk with “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” editor Marc Haefele and PKD’s friends Nicole Panter and Tim Powers to learn more.
