Philip K. Dick is well known in the sci fi genre for his work "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", the story that inspired Bladerunner. He struggled often from mental illness and depression and had a uniquely weird childhood experience that led him to question the very fabric of his reality. A common theme of Philip K. Dick's work is the presence of doppelgangers or copies who can't tell who the original is. And this unraveling of reality or treatment of reality as fluid is a huge influence on the New Wave.
