Gravestones of SF Writers

What Happens to SF Writers After They Die.

Who: Philip K. Dick
Where, When, Why: After his long struggles with mental illness, Dick had a stroke and doctors pulled the plug on March 2, 1982 in Santa Ana, CA. He was buried next to twin sister Jane who had died shortly after their birth.
Best Book: VALIS is as good a choice as any, but there's much to say in favor of 1969's Ubik as well. With tons of Dick projects in the offing, we'll likely have a spirited debate on this at some point.
Fitting Tribute?: It's sufficiently modest, considering Dick's reputation has spiked considerably after his death. His children maintain a comprehensive web presence.
