Imagine him alive and in the age of the Internet and continuing to write and where he would gone as a writer. What do you think might he have he have become in the age of the Internet? :)
 
I think he'd have found it terrifying, and this would have exacerbated his inner chaos, resulting in works of increasing contrasts of reality/unreality with messianic overtones.

I wonder if he saw World on a Wire. (Welt Am Dracht). Though maybe not as it was German TV and things were not so easy to access then.
 
I think Dick might have been asked to do a collaboration or two with the likes of Gibson, Sterling, Shirley, etc. Whether he would or not is another matter entirely. I think his own work would have become increasingly dark and paranoid.
