Afterwards, contact was lost between the people underwater and the dead people on the surface. The robots are likely to be made by aliens, either invaders from the asteroid or natives of some ancient undersea ruins.

I'm still bothered by how sunny the outside segments appear to be. If an asteroid really did destroy the surface, there sure as hell wouldn't be any sunlight poking through the mountains of dust choking the air.

("Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”)

He's a writer who wrote some popular short stories and novels, and some of his stuff became movies like Blade Runner and Total Recall.

He also seems to mention a lot about reality bending in his works, as he also used to experience hallucinations and other phenomenon which altered his perception of things, like struggling what is real and what is not.

Here he is on Wikipedia:
