November 20th, 2009 at 1:03 pmThe Guardian speaks half-assedly about some of those titles. “The Nine-Billion Names of God” is a way of expressing the impossibility of citing or knowing God. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is a great title Harlan didn’t make up; it’s from a Leo & Dianne Dillon painting for which he wrote the story. PKD hated those elaborate titles, most of which were stuck on his books by an editor at Ace so they’d sound “trippy”. Of course, it was about favorite titles, not their origins. Put this down to being a cranky old skiffy-naut.
