IMHO, Dick was one of the best Sci-Fi writers. His strength was in addressing the issues that happen when technology becomes so realistic it displaces reality in our every day lives.
Indeed, I am familiar with Dick’s work. He had some serious personal problems, but his writing was usually good and had originality.
Dick was great. But I also enjoy Jack Vance and A.E Van Voigt.
Philip K. Dick, the best description of his work was “achieved a level of paranoia in the 60’s that most of us are only beginning to appreciate today.”
That could work with John Brunner too.
Absolutely. I have no idea if it's true but I've read he's had more books made into movies than any other writer except for Stephen King.
To add to your list: Imposter, A Scanner Darkly, Screamer, Next and Paycheck as well as The Owl in Daylight and Radio Free Albemuth which have not yet been completed.
I will observe that I've never seen a movie from one of his books that comes close to capturing his own special brand of weirdness.
