"Anthony Peake is uniquely qualified to analyze Philip K Dick's life." - E J Morgan, author of A Kindred Spirit
It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane - Philip K. Dick, VALIS
Philip K. Dick was a visionary writer. From post-apocalyptic San Francisco to Nazi occupied America, his strange alternative futures have transfixed the world. But his life was every bit as unusual as his fiction.
A Life of Philip K Dick opens a window into PKD's unique mind. Written with close cooperation with two of his ex-wives and a number of his friends, we are taken through his five marriages, his periods living in squalor and his souring literary success. We are also given unparalleled insight into his transcendental experiences...
PKD claimed to have visions of the future. In his published journal The Exegesis, he explores precognition, time theories and even alien abduction. Anthony Peake's own interest in metaphysics and altered states of consciousness make him the ideal author to explore this aspect of PKD's life. Considering all possible reasonings behind these experiences, from esoteric to neurological, Peake offers a scrupulous biography of this enigmatic author.

Anthony Peake is a graduate of the University of Warwick and a postgraduate of the London School of Economics. His paradigm-changing concept 'Cheating the Ferryman' was first presented in an academic paper published in the Journal of Near-Death Studies in 2004. This was then published by Arcturus as Is There Life After Death? Peake is now considered one of the world's most original thinkers in the study of altered states of consciousness. His other publications include The Daemon, The Labyrinth of Time and Opening the Doors of Perception. Anthony has been in demand as a public speaker across the UK and Europe.
