Rob St. Mary and Rob Spencer join Mike to dig into Proyas's tale of John Murdoch (Rufus Sewell), who wakes in a cheap hotel room with no memory, a dead body nearby, and a city that refuses to add up. Detective Bumstead (William Hurt) closes in while the pale, bald Strangers rearrange reality every time the clocks stop — building a world that is simultaneously a locked-room mystery, a Philip K. Dick nightmare, a Kafka story with a superhero ending, and a filmmaker's self-portrait: the Strangers as producers, Dr. Schreber (Kiefer Sutherland) as the compromised writer, and Murdoch as the protagonist who tears through the painted backdrop and seizes the apparatus.The conversation covers the film's screenplay stages and two finished cuts, the studio-mandated voice-over that Proyas spent a decade trying to undo, and Roger Ebert's role as the mechanism of the film's survival. Mike and the Robs also place Dark City within the remarkable 1998–99 cluster of simulated-world films — The Truman Show, The Matrix, eXistenZ, The Thirteenth Floor — and examine what it means that Murdoch's triumphant ending leaves the city still a construct, still running on hidden machinery, with only the god changed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth 

In the back half of The Simulation Hypothesis, Rizwan Virk leaves the gaming and physics foundations behind and heads straight into the deep end: dreams, reincarnation, karma, synchronicity, near-death experiences, UFOs, AI consciousness, and the possibility that ancient mystics were describing the same reality modern technologists are now stumbling toward from the opposite direction. Along the way, he tries to connect Buddhism, Philip K. Dick, quantum mechanics, and modern computing into one giant framework where reality behaves less like dead matter and more like an interactive information system.

Sure, the worlds may be a bleak grayish hellscape, but there's always music!  We look at 1984 (The Orwell book, not the Van Halen album), Brave New World, the collected works of Philip K. Dick, and Frank Zappa and his rock opera Joe's Garage.  Then we get mad at a comic book.

Afinal, o que nos torna humanos? A capacidade de sentir, de lembrar… ou apenas a crença de que somos reais? Neste episódio, Gabi e Andreia mergulham em um futuro decadente onde a fronteira entre homem e máquina se torna cada vez mais difícil de enxergar levadas por Philip K. Dick em seu Sonham Androides com ovelhas elétricas? e por sua icônica adaptação Blade Runner – O Caçador de Androides, dirigida por Ridley Scott. Então, ajuste seu teste Voight-Kampff, observe as luzes de neon refletidas na chuva e venha ouvir!

"‘This is not a simulation?' - raises the question what is real, am I dreaming, are we in an alternate reality?"For the Cities and Memory Spring Project I found myself drawn to an audio recording made on the platform of the Gare Du Nord in Paris. Interestingly a key feature of the recording is some fake birdsong perhaps being piped over loudspeakers onto the platform whilst everyday passengers are milling about and passing through the station."I wondered what could be fake birdsong? I also thought about train travel and the mesmeric sounds made by a train passing along the tracks. Having recently been on a long journey to New Zealand and back I reflected on the fact that travel itself takes you outside of your normal frame of reference into another reality."Philip K. Dick wrote a series of short stories called, Electric Dreams a common thematic is the idea of losing one's self in another reality. In ‘Exhibit Piece' the main character finds himself confused having been transported back in time into an earlier reality, into what he thought was a museum exhibit, but he is now experiencing it as his own reality, but simultaneously his memories are from the present day and he tries to grapple with these two conflicting realities."The project requires that the original audio is used somewhere, somehow within the new track. There are no other rules other than a minimum / maximum length. You will hear some of the original audio, but I have also taken samples converted to midi as part of the process of creating the rest of the track. Other recorded bird sounds and a recording of a small bell responding to the wind build additional layers."This track is not harmonic or built around typical compositional ideas. It is instead a slightly surreal and a glitchy jarring rendering of sounds including percussive elements, are we perhaps hearing what a bird might be able to hear? There is hopefully an idea of going on a journey, departing, passing through some other space or time and then arriving perhaps changed. At some point was it not real? Is this real now or is it a simulation?"Gare du Nord piped birdsong reimagined by Taylor Nuttall.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we are joined once again by Julian Soloninka, better yet known as Julian the Philosopher to discuss his provocative insights into Cyberpunk Metaphysics; which we discuss in its germinal stages under the inspired headspace of Alan Watts, Alduous Huxley and Gregory Bateson. In the first half of the episode we discuss the impact Alan Watts and Gregory Bateson had on cyberpunk and its corresponding philosophies while investigating the role they played as secret agents each with respective ties to three letter agencies before asking ourselves if we were to meet them on Homerian or Platonic footing. In the extended side of the show we continue our discussion with Julian and discuss prominent author, philosopher and psychonaught, Alduous Huxley; his connection to Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Death of Cleopatra and what it all has to do with Philip K. Dick's theophany.

Hi Everyone! I interviewed Kristy Acevedo, YA author, and english teacher. Here is more about Kristy:Kristy Acevedo loves to write stories that make people think and give people hope. She is a public high school English teacher, gardener, and Star Trek fan. When she was a child, her “big sister” from the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program fostered her love of books by bringing her to the public library every Wednesday for seven years. She earned her master's degree in English and Secondary Education and is entering her 25th year of teaching. Her dystopian YA sci-fi debut series, THE WARNING and THE FALLOUT (2023 Sourcebooks Fire), won the PEN New England Susan P. Bloom Children's Book Discovery Award, was a finalist for the Philip K. Dick award for distinguished science fiction, and was touted as one of Barnes & Noble Teen's Top 13 Anticipated YA sci-fi books (under the original title Consider). She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two daughters, and two cats.

Frater Eleftheria of Lifting the Lamp enters the mind meld! Are the beings we call "Aliens" actually the same entities contacted by occultists? Are they physical beings, or consciousness based entities? In this episode, I sit down with Frater Eleftheria to explore the vanishing point where high magic and high strangeness meet.

A woman heard a voice. It said: I know this is shocking. Let me prove I'm telling the truth. It gave her three facts she didn't know. She checked them. All correct. Then it told her she had a brain tumor. The scan confirmed it.Tonight on Troubled Minds: the case is remarkable. But it's the structure of the opening that changes everything. Because that structure, three verifiable facts before the message, appears in the Torah, in Celtic fairy lore, in the visions of Joan of Arc, in Philip K. Dick's Exegesis.

Dick, we're talking life, death, the 1971 break-in that screams cover-up, VALIS the Vast Active Living Intelligence System, an 8,000-page Exegesis journal the feds probably still have eyes on, MK-ULTRA mind control shadows, FBI letters accusing everyone from neo-Nazis to communist sci-fi plants, and a death that came way too conveniently after he started connecting all the dots.

This is exactly the kind of philosophical sci-fi we love - something new, something fresh, and something that will make you think. We wish the second half had been as good as the premise, but there's still no doubt this is one we'll be thinking about for years to come (and weirdly it already feels like we've been thinking about it for years).  If you've ever fallen down an SCP Foundation wiki rabbit hole, you know the vibe, but qntm takes it to a whole new level of existential dread. This isn't your typical alien invasion story; it's a masterclass in cosmic horror where the monster isn't just invisible—it's un-rememberable. We break down the terrifying logic of antimemes and how qntm manages to build a high-stakes thriller around a conflict that nobody even knows is happening.  For fans of weird fiction and high-concept science fiction, this book is essential reading. It sits in that sweet spot between the psychological puzzles of Blindsight, the bureaucratic nightmare of Control, and the drug-fueled confusion of A Scanner Darkly. Whether you're a long-time follower of SCP Foundation lore or a newcomer looking for the next mind-bending book recommendation, we explore why There Is No Antimemetics Division is a landmark in modern internet-born literature and why its themes of memory loss and the power of ideas resonate so deeply today.  If you want to learn more about the real world organization trying to stop memes from destroying the world, check out Cause Amp, Brent's new project to combat disinformation online:  https://causeamp.org/ to learn more and get the browser extension Send Brent an email to learn more or volunteer: info@causeamp.org As always, no spoilers until the end when we give a heads up before getting into the full plot discussion.

His stories warned us about the future. He told us what was coming if we slept, and in our hubris we ignored the warnings and created the world we were afraid of. We were entertained. We thought deeply about the concepts. We found those we wanted to blame then we persecuted them. We often talk about reality here. Is any of this real? Today's little journey into the nature of reality begins in a chair. It is made to be comfortable but it never is. If this is your first time hearing this story about this chair you may be envisioning something sinister, something painful, and your thoughts are moving in the right direction. Your version of this sinister chair might be a bit extravagant. And I assure you it is simple.Because in Philip K Dick's reality it is simply a dentist chair, and a Pink Light. A light that opened his mind to a download of information. But where did it come from, and who sent it? Had he lost his mind, or was it a revelation illuminating a world that had been hidden to him and remains hidden to most of us?We'll see you on the inside..TIME STAMPS:0:00 - That Didn't Take Long2:21 - NEW INTRO (AGAIN)3:21 - Welcome Back6:00 - Should We Rename the Show?8:45 - I Don't Want To Do Time Stamps, So I'ma Just Be Random15:53 - Potty Break Intermission16:45 - Philip K.

Is reality real… or are we all just characters in the universe's weirdest video game?Join us as we explore the mind-bending ideas of sci-fi legend Philip K. Dick, who believed a mysterious pink beam of information blasted knowledge into his brain in 1974 and revealed a shocking truth: reality might be a simulation. Dick even suspected his classic novel The Man in the High Castle could contain memories from previous versions of the universe.Was he a visionary who glimpsed the code behind reality, or a brilliant writer following one very strange rabbit hole? We dive into Dick's theories about VALIS, the idea that the Roman Empire never ended, déjà vu as timeline glitches, and how modern thinkers like Nick Bostrom are seriously debating whether we might actually be living in a simulation.So, reboot your brain as we ask the ultimate question: Is reality real… or just convincing software?

Send us Fan MailNot all stories unfold quickly. Some take decades to reveal themselves.This week on Nerdery & Murdery, the Nerdery leads off as Zig explores The Man in the High Castle, diving into both the original novel by Philip K. Dick and the television adaptation. From alternate history to moral ambiguity, Zig breaks down what makes this story unsettling, thought-provoking, and still relevant.On the Murdery side, we return to our A–Z journey across America's serial killers with Arizona, focusing on the case of Bryan Patrick Miller, known as the Canal Killer. Two murders in the early 1990s, decades of silence, and a case that went cold not because it was forgotten, but because the science needed to solve it didn't yet exist.This episode examines time, evidence, and what justice looks like when it arrives years too late.Support the show

This week, we discuss the atmospheric, dystopian sci-fi noir, Blade Runner, the film that ranks number 97 on the AFI list.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety. If you haven't seen this classic, we strongly suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Warner Bros. and The Ladd Company production. Released on June 25, 1982. Directed by Ridley Scott. Screenplay by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. Cinematography by Jordan Cronenweth. Edited by Terry Rawlings. Music by Vangelis.

In 1992, a little-known Philip K. Dick short story was optioned as a sequel to Total Recall, with Arnold Schwarzenegger set to reprise his role. After a decade of Hollywood turbulence, involving a studio bankruptcy, a directorial hand-off, and two blockbusters that kept getting in the way, Steven Spielberg was finally behind the camera on what would become one of the most visually inventive science fiction films ever made: Minority Report.A sequence of remarkable events would lead to Tom Cruise passing a script to Spielberg that kick-started a collaboration ten years in the making. Jan de Bont, fresh off Speed and Twister, was briefly attached as director before quietly fading from the project; and the delays caused by Mission: Impossible 2 and A.I. Artificial Intelligence paradoxically gave Spielberg and his team the time to make the film better, and make the film way more prescient than any other cinematic dystopian utopia future.In the world of Minority Report, predicting crime before it happens raises serious moral and ethical questions.

Give these people airrrrrr! Total Recall, is a sci-fi classic. It's got Arnold Schwarzenegger at his prime of being an action hero. But let's not forget this movie was based on a Philip K. Dick short story, which is why it leaves viewers wondering, what the hell was real?It's got kamakzi robot-driving cars. Mutants, like the woman with three boobs. It has Pretty solid CG effects for it's time. And its packed with one-liners by Arnie.Great casting with a young Sharon Stone, the over-the-top villain Michael Ironside, and if you look closely, Hank from Breaking Bad!Not all 90's sci-fi tests the test of time, but we'd argue that this is one worth revisiting if you enjoy fun action.Stick around after the conversation for a round of Arnold Trivia!Safe travels, nomads.

This week, Tom and Laura are getting into tulpas — the ancient Tibetan practice of conjuring a living being purely through the power of concentrated thought. They explore how the concept traveled from Buddhist monasteries to 4chan forums (via a very unexpected My Little Pony detour), and discuss the modern "tulpamancer" community that's been trying to will fictional characters into existence ever since. They also dig into the Philip Experiment, a 1972 Toronto study in which a group of regular people invented a fictional 17th-century ghost and then tried to hold a séance with him — with some genuinely strange results. Plus, the Global Consciousness Project's claim that random number generators went haywire before the first plane hit on 9/11, Philip K. Dick's season pass to Disneyland and his very unexpected lunch companion, Alan Moore spotting John Constantine in a sandwich shop, and a comics writer who may have accidentally manifested an armed robbery straight out of a scene he'd just finished writing.
