From Mencken, it should be his usual collection of excellent essays.

I think it was Chopra who said something to the effect of, time is something we create so everything doesn't happen at once. Even Einstein struggled with the question of what, really, is time. Perhaps, then, those up high in the pyramid, who have figured out "time", are feeding what they've learned to Hollywood. "Predictive Programming", as a warning, as a preview of coming attractions, some combination and maybe more.

It would be interesting to know what Philip K. Dick tapped into 46 years before the movie based on his story came out. The age-old question, how much SciFi is fed to the author, and how much SciFi is hijacked for nefarious purposes?
