Not sure how much of it you’ve seen, as while it does diverge substantially from the book, it does go off down a belief-powers reality route.
- gumby 9y agoThe book used the I Ching as a gateway between worlds, producing the Man's book as well of course the insights of the trade minister, who starts to doubt the assumptions and foundations of reality early. In the TV show there are mysterious films with no explanation, and though the wonderful Embarcadero freeway scene from the end of the book is shown at the end of the first season, without the slow build up it isn't at all insightful. Admittedly it's just a film, so not expected to be able to express the subtleties possible in text, but I feel they don't even get to the heart of the book at all.
- madaxe_again 9y agoI know - the second season employs the I Ching world interchange too - it's how it concluded. The trade minister becomes pivotal, as written. I'm bearing with it - I think it's hit closer to the mark than electric dreams did - but the only PKD anything which has been faithfully produced was A Scanner Darkly, in my opinion.
