PKD = LSD
Behold, the Singularity is near!
I read UBIK in 1969. But I didn’t really discover PKD until 1982.
I´m afraid Philip might be right about this world isn´t real

An author no longer sells his books.
He sells copies of his books.
ALL manufactured goods are copies of prototypes.
Very few writers can capture the truth, or some essence, of a rotten society on a terminal path. PKD did it like Kurt Vonnegut did earlier…
I come here to watch this video very often
Scanner darkly is really a great novel. SAme as The 3 stigmata of palmer eldritch
Is any more series or movies inspired on Philip K. D. books?
Ok, what should be my first PKD novel then?

The Library of America now publishes most, if not all, PKD’s fiction in three volumes. You can even purchase all three volumes in a slipcased edition. The first science fiction writer to be published in prestigious Library of America editions. Subsequently they also have published the work of Ursula LeGuin.

The movie Bladerunner put me off ever reading him, until a few weeks ago when I downloaded some short sci-fi stories he wrote in the early fifties. They are remarkable. Within the genre he asks subtle and enigmatic questions and expresses a great many ideas about humanity and without it ever causing the thrust of the narrative to get deflected.
Please do a longer documentary essay in PKD. His work resonates more since AI became mainstream
