I can't help but brag that I was into PKD since 1975, aged 16, when no-one else had heard of him. I was saying back then that this was a unique writer, there should be movies of his work, he should be world famous. PKD was sometimes so poor he lived on dog food. When he died in 1982 no major media broadcasts or newspapers even reported it. I figured PKD was like Van Gogh or Kafka, only to be appreciated after they had died, when it was too late for them to benefit from. It only took 42 years for the rest of the world to catch on.
Since finding Phil ten years ago I have read most of his books and connected with Tessa through a friend Anthony Peake who wrote a very good biography about him titled The Man Who Remembered The Future. “Anecdotal evidence, which the skeptics so readily dismiss, is actually empirical observation and ought to be the beginning of investigation, not the end of it.” Tessa B Dick
Man, I wish his books were not so expensive. (Usually the ones that were made into a movie, the rest, it´s hard as hell to find them). For me, the real problem is, some libraries don´t have many books of his. I´m reading The world jonas made ( If that is the title in english) Very rare, but interesting.
Phillip K. Dick was indeed quite amazing. Oh, one thing though. Anyone that says that the director's cut is the better version of Bladerunner can shut the hell up.
I fit in as much as I could. I did include Paycheck! There are a couple clips from it. But not Barjo. And Gattaca is not based on a PKD work. It just seems like one.

Still have my 1st edition hardcover of Man In High Castle that I picked up in 86.
You’ve ever tripped over a box and found a million dollars? That’s how I feel finding out about this sci if god. Thank you
La traducion al español es hilarante jajaja cada vez que dice el apellido de Philip Dick jajajajaja
The ace double of "Cosmic puppets" is my favorite. It's addictive as hell, collecting Dick. But good.

The real trip is when he mentions you specifically by name and nails who you are in his Exegesis. Frustrating.
