On a bookshelf behind glass of with jewels of PKD collection. Learned about KSR's thesis on an email list that grew out of The Philip K Dick Society in the early internet.

Read and really liked the California and Mars trilogies long ago. Last KSR novel purchased and read was Years of Rice and Salt about 20 years ago.
