philip k dick

I've just finished rereading The Man in the High Castle. I note that several major story arcs are left unresolved at the end, and one of these even seems to be the main one. This seems to beg a sequel but Dick never wrote one. Is one possibly being planned, as this new tv series seems to be...

Here's a nearly pointless thread: there are ten PKD books I don't have and haven't read that I don't have no interest in (if you see what I'm saying - not a double negative) and I figured people could argue over what the best one of this otherwise completely not-set-ical set of books is. :) I do...

Hi I have been looking for a info about pkd short stories which he later made into novels. Like A Terran Odyssey / Dr. Bloodmoney. I remember there being several others. A comprehensive list of some sort would be fantastic.

Hi all: I own the original In Pursuit of Valis: Selections from the Exegesis (ed. Lawrence Sutin; 1991) and wondering whether to buy the much newer Exegesis (ed. Jackson & Lethem; 2011). Is there substantial cross-over of material, or is the new version really new? Thanks. - WTS

I was certain that chrome on my PC had been infected by a virus; after a bit of digging, I realised that Google had done their usual: we’ve decided to change the interface and we’re sure you’ll like it but we won’t warn you. Of course this sent my bile and spleen emitters into overdrive...

I have heard that the manuscript of a newly discovered Philip Dick story is going to be auctioned at Sotheby’s on December 2nd. Has anyone heard anything about this? Thanks. J

Hi All I am a huge PKD fan and a while back I was blundering through a website of his back catalogue and read the description of a story (either short or book) and it has been bugging me that I forgot the name so therefore couldn't get the story itself to read and enjoy. What I remember...

I've read several PKD books and love him as an author. But as the supply of new PKD content runs low, I want to find others authors out there like him. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I recently remodeled our study into more of a hobby room for myself. I want to make some custom artwork (have an image printed on canvas) for one of the walls that became available after removing a closet. I want to put the original covers of all my favorite PKD books (well to be...

Phillip K Dick: ALL must bow down and worship him... Unless you're a freethinker who has a non-groupthink style intelligence. PHK was an amazing writer, no doubt, but his "Man in The High Castle" was neither award-warented, not particularly imaginititive writing. The story, at the time it was...

Hello, im working on creating icons for each of the pioneers of sci fi. I need to find a single image that best represents the innovations of philip k. dick. I need to distill it down to something that can be simply illustrated as an icon. From what i know about Philip K. Dick's work, the...

Are there any good (thoughtful, well written) blogs or fanzines about Philip K. Dick? :confused:

I thought this would be interesting. I live four blocks from this building, and have lived in the area my whole life. I was 15 when he died. Movies from Dick's novels if counted as a whole would make up the third highest grossing Science Fiction film franchise after Star Wars and Star Trek...
