So no mention of the Phillip K Dick short story that's being referenced either in the article itself or HN?

  I'm not familiar with Phillip K Dick's short stories. Which one do you mean?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Can_Remember_It_for_You_Wholesale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Can_Remember_It_for_You_Who... (adapted to film as "Total Recall" twice). Quite a few of his stories have been made into movies with Blade Runner ("Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?") probably the best adaptation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick_bibliography#Film_adaptations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick_bibliography#Fi...

      Perhaps you mean Piers Anthony? And that was a full-length novel, later turned into a major motion picture, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Edit: it was adapted into that movie, then novelized afterward? Edit2: http://www.amazon.com/Total-Recall-Piers-Anthony/dp/0380708744 http://www.amazon.com/Total-Recall-Piers-Anthony/dp/03807087...

        Nope, Total Recall was based on "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." I wonder what story you are thinking of? Edit: yes, apparently: "In 1966, the late Philip K. Dick published the novelette "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." A movie based on the story will be released next year; this book is a novelization of the script and the original novel" -- http://www.amazon.com/Total-Recall-Piers-Anthony/dp/0688052096 http://www.amazon.com/Total-Recall-Piers-Anthony/dp/06880520...
