Philip Kindred Dick (1928–1982), known as PKD, was an influential American science fiction writer whose thought-provoking work delved into philosophical and social issues. Born in Chicago and later moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, Dick's early struggles with commercial success were overcome with the publication of his alternative history novel, "The Man in the High Castle," which earned him critical acclaim. His subsequent science fiction novels, including "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" and "Ubik," solidified his position as a significant figure in 20th-century science fiction. Following personal challenges and mystical experiences, Dick's exploration of theology, metaphysics, and reality became more pronounced in works such as "A Scanner Darkly" and "VALIS." His posthumous influence has extended to Hollywood, with popular films like "Blade Runner" and "Minority Report" based on his works. Dick's lasting impact was recognized when Time named "Ubik" one of the hundred greatest English-language novels published since 1923, and when he became the first science fiction writer included in The Library of America series in 2007.

Philip IV, also known as the Planet King, was the ruler of Spain from 1621 until his death and King of Portugal from 1621 to 1640. His reign was marked by significant patronage of the arts, including support for renowned artists like Diego Velázquez. Under his rule, the Spanish Empire expanded to approximately 12.2 million square kilometers but faced internal and military challenges, contributing to its decline. Philip's personal life was marked by two marriages, the first to Elisabeth of France, with whom he had ten children, and the second to Maria Anna, his niece, to strengthen ties with Habsburg Austria. Despite historical depictions of him as weak and debauched, modern scholars recognize his energy and dedication to royal duties. Philip was a skilled horseman, avid hunter, and supporter of bull-fighting, but also had a lighter, private persona, enjoying literary salons and theater. His reign left a complex legacy, with historians offering varied interpretations of his governance and personal attributes.
