Commentary |
The cosmicism of “The Colour Out of Space” (1927) meets the absurdity and opacity of Philip K. Dick’s detective work. It is a beautiful thought experiment but its scientific utility seems very low. Ultimately it seems faintly anthropocentric for the ocean to generate so much human drama by reading human thoughts with precision. |
