Please stop writting stupid things such as "PKD is great" everybody here knows he is great, that's why we are here, writting such stuff only makes the wall unreadable!
I wanted to read all the posts before i write something or ask a question, but after scrolling more than ten screens of such rubbish i gave up before i g...ot to the bottom.
If you have nothing interesting to share, simply shut up! Don't say you like him, miss him, or you have read some of his books, if you are here means you had to read and like some of his books...
William Hosford (me again)...Several months ago I watched a multi-part documentary on PKD(on youtube)that originally aired on BBC.It was excellent! I don`t recall the actual name of the series but it was very professional and quite fascinating.Just passing that on to youse "dickheads"! :P

More Dick! haha (Philip K. Dick that is). I recently finished "Flow My Tears the Policeman Said" (audiobook) and it was thought provoking and interesting(as all PKD`s fiction).Other PKD works I`ve gotten in audiobook format for upcoming "reading": "Solar Lottery","Eye In the Sky","The Transmigration of Timothy Archer" ...and an anthology of "PKD Short Stories".
"The Man In the High Castle","A Scanner Darkly" and "Martian Time Slip" were the last PKD novels I read/listened to. True genius!
Author Michael G. Stone Damn, why did you have to die so young :-( You are definitely missed!
Ben Garcia-vico just finished valis, what an amazing book!! about to start divine invasion this morning. most amazing writer ever
Nate Prudhon is reading Philip K Dick's The Minority Report, the best Dick I've read so far.

"N-nothing." Ray continued to grip the handles. On the screen, Wilbur Mercer walked slowly over the barren, jagged surface of a desolate hillside, his fac...e lifted, an expression of serenity - or vacuity - on his thin, middle-aged features... To Joan, he explained, "This is the empathy box, my dear... when you take hold of these handles you're no longer watching Wilbur Mercer. You're actually participating in his apotheosis. Why, you're feeling what he feels."
From The Little Black Box, by Philip K. Dick.
Published by Worlds of Tomorrow in 1964
YesIah Garvey we love you phil
Katja Ward Waters thank you, thank you, thank you! a million times over. your work is amazing and way before it's time. "A Scanner Darkly" was written in the '70s? What? you were a true visionary!
