Author Bio:
The story goes that one day, Philip K. Dick went into his bathroom and reached for the cord to turn on the light. But he’d never had a cord. He’d always had a switch.

PKD was a paranoid guy, and he decided this was evidence that something had gone wrong with the universe. The book ‘Time Out of Joint’ was the result.

I love how something so small, so unnoticeable, can reveal something so big. It’s the single biggest inspiration for everything I write.
