The sad story of Philip K Dick’s mental illness, as revealed by his FBI file:
Undoubtedly, one of the prime reasons why Dick attracted attention from the FBI was a series of bizarre letters he penned to the Bureau in the early 1970s, in which he described his personal knowledge of an alleged underground Nazi cabal that was attempting to covertly manipulate science fiction writers to further advance its hidden cause. ¶ And the nature of that cause was even more bizarre: to initiate a Third World War by infecting the American population with syphilis.
