Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is actually very funny satire of all the weird little cults prominent in 1960’s CA.

The best adaptation of this story is not Blade Runner but Network. Howard Beal’s “humanoids” are Philip K. Dick’s androids.

I will guarantee you this; "Next" will be another Hollywood Bush basher, because how it could be adapted to the WOT.

Also, I wonder if "The Golden Man" actually (uncredited) inspired the "X-men" series.

I think I'll go over to my TV, wrap my hands around its grips, and get Mercerized.
