Blade Runner
Paranoid Androids?
Science fiction or conspiracy theory? Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

I love Philip K. Dick. Thanks for this riff.
The best site for info I’ve found out about him is this one, which contains incredible biographical information and interpretations/criticisms of many (and eventually all) the great 20th century writers. In fact, as in this site, anyone who’s willing could email the webmaster and he’d let you go ahead and try to tackle William Faulkner or Alan Moore, free o’ charge.

The unofficial fan site, http://www.philipkdickfans.com/media.htm#hour25
even has an hour-long interview where he talks about sci-fi as a genre in the 70s. It’s great, and it’s a break from reading, too!
