The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick

[alice wellintown]

The delusions of a penurious science fiction writer might seem of
marginal interest, except that Philip K. Dick was not just any science
fiction writer. Shortly after his death in 1982, his book “Do Androids
Dream of Electric Sheep?” became the movie “Blade Runner.” Since then,
no fewer than 10 other motion pictures have been based on his work,
including “Total Recall” and “Minority Report.” He is widely regarded
as one of the most conceptually innovative writers in the 20th
century, whose influence has been acknowledged by novelists from
William Gibson to Ursula K. Le Guin.
