Bertrand, i think that you are wrong about Schizophrenia. i remember reading that it comes from one of Dick's own personal experiences. he had a twin sister that died in child-birth or something like that. in a dream she visited him with this golden chain necklace cross thing.
i read it in "Confusion is Next" by Alan Foege. i'm sure i'm butchering the quote even by paraphrasing standards.
s.
also- i finished Ubik tonight. that's about two days i think. love it. one of the fastest ever reads for me. i'm getting Vallis next.
