Ya, but do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?You do know that Philip was a stark raving mad Leftist right? You should check out "The Making of Blade Runne" in the blade runner discussion group on usenet, or the video on emule. Very enlightening stuff. I think Ridley gave Blade Runner the same treatment that Robert Zemeckis gave Contact..namely a whole different tune than was orginally implied.

Yup, what can you expect from a dick.
The last SF I read was Larry Niven's "Fallen Angels".
A fun and accurate jab at the left!

There are rumors (don't know if they are confirmed or not) that Philip K. Dick was a FBI informant and that this "secret agent" stuff had a major impact on his writing.
