I think some of it is simply that PKD was prolific, and created a lot of ideas pretty quickly. There are other huge authors in sci fi but I feel like a great many of them stuck to a single universe or at least thematically kind of stuck around in similar areas, whereas PKD created just a truly insane amount of ideas. Even Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep is almost like 3 sci fi novels in one and its not even that long.
