Isolarii 12: HOW TO BUILD A UNIVERSE THAT DOESN’T FALL APART TWO DAYS LATER by PHILIP K. DICK

“The two basic topics which fascinate me are ‘What is reality?’ and ‘What constitutes the authentic human being?’”

Philip K. Dick on the craft of science-fiction, technology as politics, and the Old Testament.

Introduced by David C. Krakauer, president and William H. Miller Professor of Complex Systems at @sfiscience

Isolarii, stylized as ISOLARII, is an avant-garde media company founded by Sebastian Clark. Launched in September 2020, the company is known for its multimedia projects, international activity and unique palm-sized book format.

Dominick Ammirati wrote in Artforum that “the press has succeeded at imbuing the book form with the psychophysical qualities of a mala, a rosary, kombolói, a smartphone—objects that you pick up and feel almost anxious letting go of.”

Isolarii has been described by curator Hans Ulrich Obrist as an “ingenious book club.”
