Information as a theme in the life and work of Philip K. Dick

Philip Kindred Dick was a leading writer science fiction. Although he was a valued and bestowed awards, the real has gained fame after his death, unfortunately. Today his books are available in many translations, there were several positions in the Polish language. Hollywood eagerly draws from his work. However also know that the life of Dick occupied a very important information. It also saw in the bike and the fundamental building blocks of the universe.

Fri. 1. * Intelligence information noise

The information on the Philip K. Dick widespread in our country the story of his informants to the FBI on Stanislaw Lem. Because it is knowledge that can shape the image of the intense American writer in the eyes of the Polish reader, let us begin to develop just this thread. To be able to draw conclusions, you should acquire more detailed information.
Philip K. Dick was a brilliant man. The genius that manifested itself in demonstrating a specific relationship, not only between phenomena. His mind was registering the events that occur between the layers of reality, perceived multi aspect even mundane situations. Stanislaw Lem considered unreal figure for a conglomerate composed of several writers of the Eastern bloc, whose goal was a blow to the American science-fiction, and this effect was made denounced to the FBI (English version here ). Dick may actually believe it, and perhaps even guided by the other considerations? He was certainly well known for special skills. He could express the most fantastic, even irrational judgments with complete seriousness. The stone face expressing deep conviction, to observe the reactions of friends. Yes manifested His sense of humor but also the ability to manipulate the audience, which deigned wielogodzinnymi oracjami about classical music, literature and theology. You must also know that the FBI, CIA, communists, Nazis and other often secret, and even imaginary services, they played in the life of Dick significant role. He was afraid of them. He had been in contact with them about a year from 1953 to 1954, during his second marriage. And his wife were visited and Kleo Mini interviewed by a pair of detectives Federal Bureau of Investigation. Then I often feel watched and under surveillance. He feared even by his life. In the late 60s, had multiple problems with the car, including brake failure, which nearly ended in tragedy for him and friends. Broke into his home. Why the service would be interested in him? According to Dick had a good reason. Dick turned up in the world of intellectuals, progressive thinkers and activists, often with left-wing views. In the mid-60s signed along with five other writers and publishers protest against the war tax, which was published in February 1968, Ramparts magazine . By the end of the war in Vietnam, Dick not filled the tax return. In 1979 he wrote: "For 1974 years I lived in constant fear of arrest me." In the late 60's and early 70's, his home in Santa Venetia became a kind of communism, in which the shelter were countless young autsajderzy, writers, musicians, and by the way thieves, drug addicts and drug dealers. This, however, not due to the inclination of the ideology of the hippie (Dick when he was over 40 years), but rather from a difficult and emotional circumstances in which he was fourth after the departure of his wife. The most significant event took place in autumn 1971, when the back foot (because of another suspicious car accident), he found the house broken windows, broken doors, broken locks, disappeared most of his precious things, probably blown up with plastic fireproof cabinet, which was stolen, all documents, letters, manuscripts of novels . FBI clearly dilatory carried out an investigation, before Dick utajono results of the investigation. The event is a writer and had shaken the impact on his work, in which we find many descriptions of these events (including books Radio Free Albemuth , Valis .) Dick is still afraid of reprisals from the authorities, in conjunction with the "civil disobedience" that is, tax boycott of the Vietnam War, was a man of very able to take care of your home budget. He saw the tax office hideous enemy, lived with the spectrum of the confiscation of his meager belongings. Financial stability due to him came late in life.
us recall now some details of the relationship between Phil Dick and Stanislaw Lem. When in 1972, came to him a message about Lem's efforts for a Polish translation of Ubik discharged between the two ambitious but short on literary correspondence. Dick also told that the fee will be able to be paid only in U.S. dollars of non-interchangeable, so even planned to come to Warsaw. The book was published in Poland in 1975. Meanwhile, Dick learned that another writer also published in a series organized by Lem received fees in your own currency. So Lem accused of breach of the terms. Led to remove him from the ranks of Science Fiction Writers Association (the other members had to be wrong in their view, hostile Lemowi comments on American writers). Starting in March 1974 (for Dick is the most significant date, will be talking about this more later), Dick thought that was targeted by Soviet secret police and a tool, considered reasonable that security can provide him with loyalty to their own authorities. Repeatedly asked the police and the FBI for help, not only by post but by telephone. Some want to dump
fears and perceptions attributed to Dick at the door of his paranoia (various phobias, unfortunately, accompanied him throughout his life). Although his assessment of reality would be fantastic for us, you must also remember that Dick could be very critical towards each other and among the hundreds of interpretations, which he constructed wanting to understand their own experiences, analyze the possibility of illness or simple hallucinations. His fifth wife Tess, said: "I believed him. I've always asked:>> Have I gone mad? << A ja zawsze mówiłam, że nie. Wariaci nie zadają takich pytań. Oni wiedzą, że są normalni”. Pamiętajmy też, jak odbierali Dicka jego przyjaciele. On żył we własnym świecie, wszystko co mówił, robił, wynikało z głębokich przekonań. Choćby przedstawiał wiele różnych wersji tego samego wydarzenia, w jego umyśle wszystko było prawdą.
should therefore consider the essential aspects that led to Dick. This could be: 1 fear before the mysterious organization wishing to destroy him and the need for support; 2 willingness to take the services of a typical dickowskiego , sophisticated wit, a kind of revenge for the tank to respond to his requests for assistance; 3 frustration due to financial problems; 4 obsession, phobia, paranoia. Most likely you will say that underlying the decision to write to the FBI on Lem, lay all of those mentioned items. Tbc

Wikipedia

criticized that as you paideía enkýklios and she's not sure that the power of mistakes in it you will find that it is better to get away from it for the traditionally printed. Yes it is true that err is human, so what a man does, and can be a mistake. So you and here they were inevitable. However, I think it really krytykantom guided by completely different purpose. What kind of leave in the field of speculations. This is such a treasure trove of where today's Internet.

What happened was it? The answer to the criticism was Wikipedy Citizendium. in detail discussed in the article Catherine Dankiewicz . Such an Internet encyclopedia, except that done by professionals.

Wikipedia Firmly certain position, began to be quoted and cited in the text did not raise anyone's surprise. Now is time to Citizendium, which certainly, at least in the early years will be approached with suspicion.

In fact, it's still breathed a sigh of relief because finally you can use, in view of the great sources of information from the Internet via the monitor and cite and not be derailed.

Online Application, Ok To Call Back?

Is the change alters the semantic descriptor?

For some time now instead of library (school) said the school information center, instead of the library (public) use the term Infothek, instead of a librarian more often, the term infobroker, and even what has come to "Library Journal, 1/15/2007 No proposals that emerged in relation to the use of such librarians, for example, the concepts of hacker knowledge, information alchemist, bibliodominatrix, indagatrix.

I do not intend here, in the short form of the entry of blogging, discuss questions asked in the title and write much of their inquiry, because the thing seems clear. Only emphasize that no one had any doubt: the change of name (descriptor) in itself does not change the semantics here is understood as attributing specific object of reality (determined on the date of the librarian) new properties. Certainly the concept expressed in the sign language, indeed, these changes occur, each term means something else, is a collection of different features (the only relevant).

mind, however, about the importance of the concept, suggested by Wittgenstein (Wittgenstein, L. Philosophical Inquiries. New York: Univ. OWN, 2000, p. 34), boiling down to a claim that the meaning of the word is the way you use it in the language of then I wrote a little article for journal EBIB , we shall see it's just a matter of fact from library users, the readers depends largely on semantic change. The question is thus as follows: whether the library user actually coming to the library sees people working there in some new categories? Have you thought of them as wypożyczających book, or think of them as professionals from the information? For new appointments do not become the only label sticker to the well-established for years in activities (eg rent reading) a lot of work to be done professionally active librarians.

music libraries

reaction to the behavior of users P2P networks are a variety of lawsuits directed at them by the organizations Supervising the rights of music producers and film. There are also (practiced in our country) the morning raid on the apartment and confiscation of pirate equipment helpful in committing the theft of intellectual property. Thievery is mostly grown in the computer software, music and movie files are endangered as well as electronic books and audiobooks. Pirates of the computer begin to appear as one of the main threats to the film industry and phonographic. This same loss industry is experiencing appear to be very severe, since the U.S. took (takes?) process on a ruthless pirate. Advocates of the injured party came to the conclusion that it should try to lead to a situation in which just create MP3 files from legally purchased CD will be a transaction subject to the relevant paragraphs.

If, however, in countries with above-developed consumer culture there is quite a big concern for the functioning and development of libraries, in which audiovisual materials are treated with equal agendas "book, as in Poland, only a dozen libraries Public gathers a large-scale movies and music, while a few of them rent them out. This is of reflection, which increases when we compare wages in the United States or Canada, offered the average citizen Polish and count how many CDs of music can be purchased for daily wage Mr. Smith, Mr. and how much. Smith?

may also surprise no activity held in tax offices in the field of digitization of Polish classical music, whether folk, and thus not making it on the pages of Polish libraries. One of the few exceptions, namely the National Library, although zdygitalizowała his phonographic cylinders and discs recorded dygitalizuje acoustic method, but to hear the arias sung by Adam and Jan Kiepura Didur or folk music recorded by ethnographers in field studies, music lover is forced to reach into your pocket, go to the library in person, or try your luck on "youtube "or as a last resort check in P2P networks.

Finally, unless we ask the question whether the Native American music is better than the music of Polish highlanders? Let's see, therefore, the Library of Congress and the National Library and compare their contents.
