Lecture on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

David Gill's Lecture on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick

You can download or listen online to his lecture on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? from the Philip K. Dick Festival held back in August 12-15, (2010) in Colorado, here. The lecture is about an hour long and broken up into 3 parts. A video is to follow.

Mr. David Gill has studied the life and work of Philip K Dick for fifteen years, writing his Masters Thesis on Dick's novel Time Out of Joint. Aside from maintaining the Dick-centric Total Dick-Head blog, for the last five years, he has been teaching literature and writing at San Francisco State University and regularly assigns Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. He has written about Philip K Dick for boingboing, io9.com, Article Magazine, and is currently part of a team working to edit Dick's Exegesis, a series of notes made by the author over the last eight years of his life, for publication.
