ok which of these writers do you think deserves this term. i know already tolkien is studyed at a university level. i mean at a lower level than that. sci fi can become litriture, just look at hg wells. the reosen im going for phillip k dick is becuse his writing can be taken on multiple levels as sci fi sure but also as an anaylis of the subculture of his times. they already teach about drugs in schools. i think however you can learn more about junkies from a scanner darkly than you can any amount of goverment pamphlets. that book reminds me of people i used to know. it would rock if they taught him in school. i would prefer my kids to read his stuff than shakespear purely becuse what dick wrote is still relevent to today.
