Abstract
With a critical review of the modest аchievements of contemporary science fiction as a literary genre, the Paper introduces us to the work of one of the few original authors of this genre during the second half of the 20th century, Philip K. Dick. Starting from the biographical data’s related to this marginal writer of Pulp fictions who only gained world fame and literary recognition posthumously, the first part of the Paper focuses on Dick’s understanding of fantasy and the fantastic, which are, because of their breadth and dystopian characteristics, more popular today than in the time when they were written. The second part of the Paper deals with the religious and spiritual attitudes that prevail in the second part of the writing oeuvre of Philip K. Dick, which are interpreted as his personal attempt at a literary search for the vertical of normality and true humanity in a world of spiritual and technological alienation.
