	Radio Free Albemuth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radio Free Albemuth should not be confused with the album of the same title by Joe Satriani and Steve Vai bassist Stuart Hamm.
		A posthumously published novel by Philip K. Dick, written in 1976, Radio Free Albemuth (originally titled VALISystem A) was his first attempt to deal in fiction with his experiences of early 1974.

	Radio Free Albemuth by Philip K. Dick
		Radio Free Albemuth is a precursor to Dick's Valis trilogy.
		Since RFA was written in the first person using Dick's own voice, this book blurs the lines between fiction and reality.
		Like The Man In The High Castle, RFA is not set in the future but in a twisted version of modern America.

	Radio Free Albemuth
		A posthumously published novel by Philip K. Dick, Radio Free Albemuth is essentially a rewrite of his prvious novel Valis, with many of the strong elements of gnosticism in the latter work removed.
		The alternate history plot concerns the corrupt US President Fremont (a character with elements of Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon) and the resistance movement to him, which is organised by a superintelligent, extraterrestrial, omnipotent being named VALIS, who is identified with God.
		Perhaps his most autobiographical novel (Dick himself is a major character), the book deals with his highly-personal style of Christianity (or Gnosticism), the moral repercussions of being an informer for the authorities, and his dislike of the Republican Party, in addition to his recurring themes of identity and reality.

		The alternate history plot concerns the corrupt US President Fremont (a character with elements of Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon) and the resistance movement to him, which is organised, via the eponymous radio broadcasts from a mysterious satellite, by a superintelligent, extraterrestrial, omnipotent being (or network) named VALIS.
		Albemuth is a serious reworking of the themes and characters in Valis, and it just reads better than the latter.
		Radio Free Albemuth may not have the tide of ideas that Valis has, and it has nothing as spectacular as the Phil Dick/Horselover Fat disappearing act.

	RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH
		Radio Free Albemuth, in the context of the last great works of Philip K. Dick, can be read as an introduction and key to his magnificent Valis trilogy (Valis, The Divine Invasion, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer).
		Arbor House had a large blowup of the cover for RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH, and included it in a flyer containing their top books for promotion for the next six months (they claim a $25,000 advertising and promotion budget, which would certainly be a first for a PKD book)...
		RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH received at least 19 nominations for the Science Fiction Writers of America Nebula Award this year, and almost made it onto the ballot.

	PKD: Dreamer of the Mythos
		In Radio Free Albemuth, Phil names the source of his visions as Fomalhaut, which he was told in a dream is called "Albemuth" by its natives.
		"Albemuth" is probably derived from the Arabic or Semitic "al-Behemoth", which itself seems to refer to a large fish.
		Thus we see that Phil's Albemuth could actually be interpreted as the eye of Dagon, a most startling revelation for one who set out to disprove such an association from even being possible.

		Choose a particular chapter, scene, or passage in Radio Free Albemuth and analyze its use of paranoia or conspiracy as a rhetorical appeal.
		In Part I, Chapter 5 of Radio Free Albemuth, Nicholas Brady tells Phil Dick he is going to abandon his comfortable life in Berkley and move to Orange County; without his wife, if necessary.
		In other words, you should figure out what Radio Free Albemuth is trying to convince its readers to believe, choose a moment in the text where you find a rhetorical appeal to the readers, and take a stand on how this appeal works in the text's overall argument.

	VALIS trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The novel was sold to Bantam Books, but after editor Mark Hurst suggested some possible revisions, Dick began contemplating a revision so radical as to constitute a new novel.
		The original VALISystem A was published posthumously as Radio Free Albemuth.
		The new version, titled simply VALIS, was completed late in 1978 and published in 1981 (the plot of the earlier version appears as the plot of a science fiction movie, also called "VALIS," that the characters see).

	Philip K. Dick - Radio Free Albemuth
		And Dick's best friend, a record executive named Nicholas Brady, is receiving transmissions from an extraterrestrial entity that may also happen to be God - an entity that apparently wants him to overthrow the President.
		In Radio Free Albemuth, his last novel, Philip K. Dick morphed and recombined themes that had informed his fiction from A Scanner Darkly to VALIS and produced a wild, impassioned work that reads like a visionary alternate history of the United States.
		Agonizingly suspenseful, darkly hilarious, and filled with enough conspiracy theories to thrill the most hardened paranoid, Radio Free Albemuth is proof of Dick's stature as our century's greatest prankster-prophet.

		Radio Free Albemuth, a well-written novel, is one that switches perspectives...

	The religion of Philip K. Dick, science fiction writer
		In the posthumously-published Radio Free Albemuth (17) - the first version of what finally became VALIS - "Nicholas Brady" christened "Johnny" with the secret name "Paul".
		Indeed, Radio Free Albemuth ends with the imprisoned Phil taking consolation in the knowledge that the Message has gone out after all - to the children.
		The importance of this assertion in light of the child-saviors in VALIS and The Divine Invasion cannot be underestimated.

		Many cities have ordinances specifying that people can't dance while listening to music, or must have prohibitively expensive licenses to have an event at all.

		"Free peer-to-peer music file-sharing has become larger than the multibillion dollar recording industry with a growth trend that has become 'fundamentally unstoppable,' a media analyst told a state Senate committee exploring Internet piracy on Thursday.
		The free downloading habit among 61 million Americans and millions more worldwide is 'cemented,' with only 9 percent of U.S. downloaders believing they are doing anything wrong, said Eric Garland, founder of Beverly Hills-based Big Champagne, which analyzes Internet trends.
		But industry representatives largely rejected the advice, instead promoting legal challenges and education, including a new anti-file-sharing movie clip that will appear soon in movie theaters....'The record business, in the digital revolution, has been a day late and a dollar short,' said Kazaa lobbyist Phil Corwin."

	Philip K. Dick, Cyberpunk
		The three-eyed race of Albemuth took it upon themselves to heal the Matrix and to restore the Net through VALIS.
		To some extent, the role of these ideas in Radio Free Albemuth and the novel VALIS cannot really be appreciated without a consideration of PKD's VALIS experiences.
		In both Radio Free Albemuth and the novel VALIS, PKD goes to great pains to identify VALIS as an extraterrestrial satellite, perhaps constructed by the three-eyed beings of Sirius.
