	Philip K. Dick - Author - Official Biography - Science Fiction
		Dick gave credit to the American Depression-era writer James T. Farrell, author of Studs Lonigan, for helping Dick see how to construct the SF stories that he sold in such numbers to the SF pulps in the early 1950s.
		And even though Dick never lost his yearning to be accepted by the literary mainstream, he always regarded it as a kind of treason to deprecate the SF genre he grew up on and flourished in.
		Dick received the Hugo Award in 1963 for The Man in the High Castle, which tells of a post-World War II world in which Japan and Germany are the victors and the continental United States is roughly divided between them.

		But we writers understand narrative economy, and for purposes of narrative economy his story seemed to him to begin with the mysterious break in and riffling of his papers that was made notorious by an article in Rolling Stone, which brought Phil long-delayed and much-deserved fame.
		PKD really was Thomas and Elijah and all the other precursive concrescences that came together to make the cat-loving fat man who compacted trash into gold.
		I actually had to develop a love of the disordered and puzzling, viewing reality as a vast riddle to be joyfully tackled, not in fear but with tireless fascination.

	Blade Runner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Just as things were coming together, Philip K. Dick became concerned that no one had informed him about the film's production, and it was a snub he didn't appreciate.
		Philip K. Dick died before the film's release, but he did manage to see a forty-minute special effects test reel, which converted him from a skeptic into a full supporter of the film, as it looked just as he had imagined it.
		Some of the themes in the novel that were minimized or entirely removed include: fertility/sterility of the population, religion, mass media, Deckard's uncertainty that he is human, and real versus synthetic pets and emotions.

	phorum - CO-µ-NICATE - Re: scanner darkly/phillip k. dick
		i'm well into phil k dick's stuff, i was dreading this movie when i heard keanu reeves and winona ryder were cast for the main roles but the trailer looks decent so here's hoping.
		Anyway, I thought Linklater was pretty respectful of PKD's material...which is a first for a Hollywood film.
		Even though it wasn't written by PKD, I thought (until now) it was the closest thing we'd get to a PKD movie.

	SF Signal: REVIEW: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick
		In usual Phillip K. Dick style, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is riddled with wonderings of what is reality.
		But it is craftily done so that you want to keep reading - even if it means pulling yourself through the occasional page or two of psychedelic meanderings that are, unfortunately, also part of Dick's style.
		Also, as with other PKD books I've read, character actions don't seem to flow logically at times.
