This includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, weird, cyberpunk, utopian, post-apocalyptic, and superhero fiction, among other genres This video focuses on Philip K. Dick's speech "The Android and the Human", given at the Vancouver SF Convention at the University of British Columbia, in March 1972. This one discusses specifically the ways in which he thinks genuinely human beings (those who have not been reduced to androids) can be distinguished from androids.
