We Can Remember It For You Wholesale





Today, I read the original inspiration for the 90's sci-fi flick Total Recall with Schwarzenegger and loved it equally as much as the movie.

The movie expands greatly upon the very short story written by Philip K. Dick, and does justice to the loose ends he left. In the short story he never actually returns to mars to seek out the truth of his secret mission; he instead turns himself in to discover the truth of his past and to avoid any further damage or confusion in his life. The ending to the short story is very cool though, but would have been impossible to include in the plot of the movie.

Read it.

Philip K. Dick... Books, Comics, Movies



Revolutionary science fiction writer Philip K. Dick's last epic novel Do Androids Dream Electric Sheep? is revisited by BOOM! Studios in the new trans-titled comic book series. Here's an article. Here's a link concerning the original series.

Recently read some Dick, so I was happy to stumble upon this. I was also checking out some of his first editions on ebay, which are ridiculously priced... I think. Anyways, the short story The Minority Report was the first story I read of his. Familiar with the Spielberg production of the story I was quite pleased to find the original story much more complex; fully exploiting the possibilities in plot twists presented by three ever correcting psychics on one man's fate. WHOAAA... Anyways it was a great read. Two thumbs.

Any who, here are some random Philip K. Dick links to short stories, info, etc.
