Hello, I am a college student currently in the pre production stages of creating a film trailer for the above named book. I need to conduct some target market research, so I thought I would start here :). So, What features should be retained in the trailer? E.g Should I show the...

getting closer! Trailer debut: Philip K. Dick's RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH

Gondry To Direct Ubik Adaptation Total Dick-Head: Gondry To Direct Ubik Adaptation I'll hope for the best... "UBIK" wasn't my first PKD novel, but it was the one that turned me into a OCD Philip K. Dick reader & collector (way back in the '70s & still chuggin' on) ;)

Having just finished my seventh (I think) PKD novel, I'm struck by a fact about them obvious enough to be overlooked: all seven are relatively short novels by comparison with what seems to be normal in science fiction these days. From about 45 years of experience as a reader of sf, I have come...

Sorry to bother folks with a question like this. What's the PKD novel, feels like it was pre-1970, with a character who runs a record shop and keeps a grey parrot? That's my memory... can someone help? Thank you.

I just saw this on a PKD blog,Ridley Scott to produce and possibly direct the work for the BBC! Total Dick-Head: Ridley Scott Set To Produce Man in the High Castle for the BBC

Philip K. Dick's journals are to be published in 2011, giving fans a chance to see the inside workings of how the great man thought... BBC News - Philip K Dick journals to be published next year

I quite fancy getting a collection of his shorts, but which to get? I used to have Beyond Lies the Wub in Gollancz but never got chance to read it, and someone has mentioned Minority Report and Other Stories-was that published during Dick's time or posthumously?

People's opinions seem to vary on this novel. I personally liked it as it was a decent change of style. Dick dropped most of the philosophical banter to create a fast paced action/adventure novel. The characters were far from fully developed, and it definitely wasn't his greatest novel. Though...

That says it all really. There have been many successful and unsuccessful adaptations of PKD's works over the years. What do you think that his stories offer that makes them so adaptable to the screen?

Who is a fan? And if so, what is your favorite story???

Philip K. Dick (1928-82) was not one of the widely famous, best-selling SF authors like Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke or Frank Herbert. Despite this, he earned a high reputation as an innovative and thoughtful writer, with a probably unmatched record for the genre in having nine of his stories...

'Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said' , a book I'd long been curious about, is from 1974 and is about Jason Taverner, a well known and highly respected TV star and singer whose records are suddenly erased, making him a man with no identity,living in a police state where everyone is closely...

There may be some dispute on this but I think most of us have a good idea of what constitutes "major" PKD. While not exactly corresponding to my list, the selections in the Library of America[1] can serve as the bulk of a pretty good list of them. So what are people's favorite PKD novels...

I probably don't see more than 5 new movies a year, so maybe someone else here can add to this short list: Movies, not based on any particular PKD work, which are so phildickian you would laugh in the writer's face if he denied Dick was a primary influence. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless...

Blimey! King of the Elves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I hope they don't mess it up. It was the first thing of his I ever read.

I'm about to watch the directors cut for the first time.(in widescreen yay!) The blurb says A great movie made better. Agree?

Well, I just got notice of this little opus, and thought perhaps some of the Dick fans here might be interested: Future Imperfect - University of Nebraska Press

I just recently watch Total Recall again and thought it was an excellent movie. I also liked Minority Report. Just wondering if my memory serves me correct if Screamers (little robots living below the sand with blades that cut you up if you make vibrations) is also PKD story. Are his stories...

Found this one at a secondhand bookshop in very good condition. How is this book, any good?
