Dick's work, I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon involves a questioning of what it is to be human and of what reality is. When the ship finally arrives at its destination, Kemming cannot accept reality and believes his arrival to be yet another construction. constructs such a scenario for Kemming and plays it to him over and over for the next ten years. asks Kemmings what he wants most - and the answer is that Kemming wants the trip to be over and to arrive at his new home. The ship's artificial intelligence cannot repair the malfunction and cannot wake him, so Kemmings is doomed to remain conscious but paralyzed through the ship's entire ten-year-long journey. In the story, a man (Victor Kemmings) regains consciousness during a failed attempt at cryosleep on board a spaceship. The short story was first published in Playboy in December 1980, under the title " Frozen Journey".
