Ha! "Out there" is just par for the course with PKD.... Read "A Scanner Darkly", if you haven't already. That's one of the supreme weird tales.

- e12e 9y agoOr "Martian timeslip". In fact "blade runner" is a pretty poor adaptation of the book (but a great film, imo). I'm not sure most of pkd would benefit too much from a "direct" film adaptation... I loved the man in the high castle for many of the changes and the overall style - but it seems the writers got a bit lost trying to round off the open ended story and fill in some blanks. Small wonder, considering the book.
- falsedan 9y agoMost of PKD's stuff has a similar level of weirdness: paranoiac uncertainty in reality. They are fantastic at that. VALIS is on another level: PKD had a mental breakdown, thought a interstellar intelligent pink light told hime about his son's hernia, and wrote a book about the other things the light told him.
