Philip K. Dick (1928-1982)

Outlived by his father, sci-fi icont Philip K. Dick was buried by him alongside his twin sister, Jane C. Dick. The prematurely born pair were separated in death by more than 50 years, as Jane lived only six weeks. Way before his time—hell, he's still before even our time—Dick wrote mind-bending sci-fi classics like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Blade Runner on the silver screen) and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Dick mixed drugs, politics, religion, and dysfunction in his pessimistic and surreal near-futures, at once baffling and completely plausible. His final resting place—in a place he never lived, next to a sister he never knew, but always felt—is somehow appropriate.
