I heard of the author and knew the novel with a slightly skewed sounding title except for the cognitive dissonance the origin of which I couldn’t quite determine. Mr. Dick or his synonym, perhaps pseudonym as well, Mr. Prick, as you labeled him, achieved a certain notoriety ( I wont say fame as not to offend you.) when the movie it was based on is considered the number one best science fiction movie of all time, as you mught refer to as Glade Stunner, right behind Glade Stunner was Killer Klowns From Dimensia X, ironically based on a novel by someone named Geronimo Prick. (I wonder if there is a connection) But what i do know is that there is no love lost between you and Mr. Dick.
Phillip K. Dick wrote “Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep”, far better than than Prick’s story about Electric Jeep. < /sarc >
