About this listen
Based on thousands of pages of typed and handwritten notes, journal entries, letters, and story sketches, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality and perception, the malleability of space and time, and the relationship between the human and the divine. Edited and introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this is the definitive presentation of Dick’s brilliant, and epic, work.
In the Exegesis, Dick documents his eight-year attempt to fathom what he called “2-3-74”, a postmodern visionary experience of the entire universe “transformed into information”. In entries that sometimes ran to hundreds of pages, in a freewheeling voice that ranges through personal confession, esoteric scholarship, dream accounts, and fictional fugues, Dick tried to write his way into the heart of a cosmic mystery that tested his powers of imagination and invention to the limit.
This volume, the culmination of many years of transcription and archival research, has been annotated by the editors and by a unique group of writers and scholars chosen to offer a range of views into one of the most improbable and mind-altering manuscripts ever brought to light.

Utterly fantastic.
I never tire of PKD's expression of a multitude of topics interwoven in his unique, creative style. The narration The Exegesis was impeccable! Bravo.

The Empire never ended. The Buddha is in the Park
Brilliant. Transcendental. The physical book has a smattering of hand scrawled diagrams that dedicated readers may want to seek out if there is a copy of this mystical tome burning a whole in your shelf— although hardly necessary. The performance is crystalline and serves to empower and trans-imbue a core functional claim in the omni-pivotal reality tunnels of The Exegesis—namely; that language is a logarithmic function capable of editing and altering consciousness and by extension also reality as expressed by representations—The subversion of default setting hypnogogia factor is amplified by the opportunity to lay back and simply let PKD’s consciousness editing log function unfold around you. Eat the mana in the desert. Experience and participate in the ontological pincer movement that is The Exegeses of Philip K Dick.
