[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] But Mercerism, and more importantly the idea of empathy which it embodies, is the whole point of the story, I think. As for The Man In The High Castle, the book within it, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, was written entirely by the I Ching. The Man... on the other hand, was only partially written by the I Ching. Dick consulted it on occasion. He later said that it was a rather insidious book and shouldn't be trusted. Dick, of course, was on amphetamines, I believe, for a good portion of his writing career, a double-edged sword in that it allowed him to complete entire novels in one sitting, over a weekend, while also nearly killing him (and maybe getting him in the end anyway) and making some of those novels not so good because they were written so quickly. But to say that when Dick wrote _about_ drugs he was somehow incoherent doesn't ring true to me. Whatever else he knew, he understood drugs, as A Scanner Darkly displays in frightening detail.
