Philip K. Dick in Santa Ana, 2021

Location: South East corner of N. Main St. and E. Civic Center Dr. intersection

Brennan Roach’s utility box design commemorates Philip K. Dick, the most influential writer to call Santa Ana home. Philip K. Dick’s science-fiction stories formed the basis for many major films, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report, and the TV series The Man in the High Castle. He wrote his final four novels in Santa Ana. Brennan’s design celebrates the author’s contributions to Santa Ana culture, as well as the inspiration the city provided for his imaginative works.
