A Scanner Darkly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A Scanner Darkly is a 1977 science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick. The "scanner" of the title is a holographic recorder/projector on which the main character views clips of his own life but doesn't recognize them. Additional preoccupations were the alleged mystical experiences of early 1974 that would eventually serve as a basis for VALIS and the unpublished Exegesis journal, a screenplay for an unproduced film adaptation of 1969's Ubik, an occassional lecture, and the Roger Zelazny collaboration Deus Irae. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly   (2070 words)

A Scanner Darkly Trailer at Binary Bonsai Keywords: a scanner darkly, Movies, philip k dick, science fiction. So being both a massive fan of Philip K Dick and always interested in experimental scifi flicks, the new A Scanner Darkly trailer looks pretty inviting.

A Scanner Darkly - Wikiquote If a bomb is wired to a car's ignition, then obviously there is an enemy; if public building or a political headquarters is blown up, then there is a political enemy. Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we'll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too." en.wikiquote.org /wiki/A_Scanner_Darkly   (418 words)

Amazon.ca: A Scanner Darkly: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: ) A Scanner Darkly cuts closest to the bone, drawing on Dick's own experience with illicit chemicals and on his many friends who died from drug abuse. Nevertheless, it's flly farcical, full of comic-surreal conversations between people whose synapses are partly fried, sudden flights of paranoid logic, and bad trips like the one whose victim spends a subjective eternity having all his sins read to him, in shifts, by compound-eyed aliens. Among Dick's 45 or so novels, A Scanner Darkly is his dark night of the soul, and is based on one of the lowest points in his life-his involvement with drugs and hard-drug users in 1970-72. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0679736654   (840 words)

Amazon.com: A Scanner Darkly (Vintage): Books: Philip K. Dick   (Site not responding. Last check: ) As anyone who has read VALIS can attest, the real-life events from which this story is based occurred to Dick in the beginning of the `70's, and most of his fiction afterward were attempts for him to glean and get down the life-shattering experience. For all the futuristic flourishes, the bulk of _A Scanner Darkly_ basically describes the everyday existence of Orange County drug users. The dissipation of the body and slow decay of the mind; the rupturing of the moral core for the immediate high; life on the downward spiral--it's all documented here, in harrowing fashion. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0679736654?v=glance   (2216 words)

Last check: ) Posted by: ThS at February 23, 2005 02:35 PM I can understand that the animation doesn't appeal to you but A Scanner Darkly was around looooong before The Matrix so it's definitely not a rip off. I also agree with Meli that in these sort of films has Keanu found his niche (though I think it's more cyberpunk than "dark action films;" ASD was far from an action novel). A Scanner Darkly is my favorite book, and it looks like Linklater butchered its adaptation. www.themovieblog.com /archives/2005/02/scanner_darkly_trailer.html   (1861 words)
