Infobox

[edit]

Gotta love building infoboxes for books that don't exist! I entered the "Media Type" as "Manuscript (presumed lost)" because of the passage saying something about the plot surviving only as a smarmy assessment on an index card - I took this to mean the manuscript is either lost or destroyed. If I'm wrong, please change the infobox, but if I'm right, it might be good to say someting specific as to the fate of the manuscript (if known) in the article. -- Antepenultimate 22:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Phil??

[edit]

Referring to author Philip K. Dick as "Phil" strikes me as over-familiar and insufficiently objective in tone. Wouldn't an article about Albert Einstein that repeatedly called him "Al" seem silly too? Sorry to the author who obviously felt an extraordinary kinship with his subject, but I'm changing it before someone else reads this and has his stomach turn at the galling presumption this author displays.

speculation

[edit]

I don't know if it's worth noting in the article, but given the description on the index card, it sounds like PKD re-wrote this into Humpty Dumpty in Oakland, so it may have been restructured more than lost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.135.95.53 (talk) 00:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
