Building up to the introduction of phylogons, PKD in The Divine Invasion continues to describe Emmanuel's mental exercise:
Presently he picked up a book from the table and opened it.
Inside the book he found, written there, his own thoughts,
now in a printed form. The printed thoughts lay arranged
along the time axis which had become spacial and the only
axis along which motion was possible. He could see, as in
a hologram, the different ages of his thoughts, the most
recent ones being closest to the surface, the older ones
lower and deeper in many successive layers.
PKD transforms internal thoughts and images into geometry and motion. What would you read in that book if you turned to the page of the present moment? Did he foresee a device like the iPad that would record thoughts and dreams?
