     The King of Diamonds - Philip K. Dick 

“…today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups—and the electronic hardware exists by which to deliver these pseudo-worlds right into the heads of the reader, the viewer, the listener. Sometimes when I watch my eleven-year-old daughter watch TV, I wonder what she is being taught. The problem of miscuing; consider that. A TV program produced for adults is viewed by a small child. Half of what is said and done in the TV drama is probably misunderstood by the child. Maybe it’s all misunderstood. And the thing is, Just how authentic is the information anyhow, even if the child correctly understood it? What is the relationship between the average TV situation comedy to reality? What about the cop shows? Cars are continually swerving out of control, crashing, and catching fire. The police are always good and they always win. Do not ignore that point: The police always win. What a lesson that is. You should not fight authority, and even if you do, you will lose. The message here is, Be passive. And—cooperate. If Officer Baretta asks you for information, give it to him, because Officer Beratta is a good man and to be trusted. He loves you, and you should love him.

So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing. It is my job to create universes, as the basis of one novel after another. And I have to build them in such a way that they do not fall apart two days later. Or at least that is what my editors hope. However, I will reveal a secret to you: I like to build universes which do fall apart. I like to see them come unglued, and I like to see how the characters in the novels cope with this problem. I have a secret love of chaos. There should be more of it. Do not believe—and I am dead serious when I say this—do not assume that order and stability are always good, in a society or in a universe. The old, the ossified, must always give way to new life and the birth of new things. Before the new things can be born the old must perish. This is a dangerous realization, because it tells us that we must eventually part with much of what is familiar to us. And that hurts. But that is part of the script of life. Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.”

- Philip K. Dick

A rough sketch I did for A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick

Andy Reid to star in new ABC sit-com, Clock Management.

A new show written by Jade Bos, who also penned Hookers or Cake. It will be “A fresh ensemble comedy about the individual struggle for love and acceptance.” It centers on Andy, the role written with Reid in mind, as a optimistic but socially retarded football coach who, after his most recent firing and divorce, moves from Philadelphia to LA to coach a new NFL team. Hi-jinks ensue when Andy moves in with his niece and her 2 beautiful roommates who all happen to work in the adult entertainment industry.

A unnamed source at ABC said the pilot not only contains a “ton of huge laughs” but culminates with Reid performing a “tearful Shakespearean soliloquy” in front of a bathroom mirror. “Its truly epic in scope,” said the source.

Just a few of Reid’s “fun” character traits

• He has no concept of time and is therefore a terrible game manager. As a result he is always burning frozen pizza’s and showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
• He constantly wears his NFL headset and carries on full conversations with the disembodied soul of Philip K. Dick. Most of the conversations revolve around the true nature of reality and whether or not Andy isn’t perhaps just a figment of Philip K. Dicks imagination and not vice-versa.
• Andy has fake breast implants as a result of a terrible accident.
• He’s a heavy sweater and a violent sneezer.
• He has a psychic connection with cats.
• His true passion is dream analysis.

Perhaps ABC has finally found a suitable replacement for LOST?
