I always thought PKD Dicks non-sci-fi books were HORRIBLE. you get all the poorly written pulpy melancholic sludge with none of the brilliant ideas. there are thousands of books you might want to read before you turn to that crap.

The *short story* Minority Report is much more political than the movie. spielberg & co watered it down and removed its teeth.

I actually liked the Blade runner adaptation. but its a page one rewrite. its inspired by Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep rather than an actual adaptation. They could have slid by without giving Dick any cred, like Matrix, Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or other movies that smell like a dick ripoff.. er inspiration.

One of the most common features of dicks work is revealed at the end of Scanner Darkly. PKD was a speed freak who wrote most of his books tweaking. many feature speed psychosis style breaks with reality.
