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.
