Favorite books: A coterie of religious seekers forms to explore the revelatory visions of one Horselover Fat; a semi-autobiographical dialogue of PKD. The groups hermeneutical research leads to a rock musician’s estate where they confront the Messiah: a two-year old named Sophia. She confirms their suspicions that an ancient, mechanical intelligence orbiting the earth has been guiding their discoveries. <\/a><\/p>\n 31.

Your fears: Well, most of them have come to pass, so I don’t know what else is left.<\/p>\n 53. Your most recent secret: I don’t think I’ve had any recent secrets.

Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate.<\/p>\n 64. Cappuccino or Drip: I have no idea what you are talking about.<\/p>\n 65. Smoke: Is that an imperative statement? Because I don’t see a question mark.
