I think the main thing that resonated with me about the Phillip K. Dick article was how great authors and artists are often only discovered after their death. It's sad that they never get to truly enjoy the notoriety they deserve.
In the example of Dick, he wrote 44 books that eventually spawned amazing feature films and he never saw the fruits of his labor. Imagine if he had never been discovered! We may have never gotten this scene in Total Recall.
Seriously though I genuinely believe this is a major tragedy of our time.
