Title: Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams
Post by: Madness on January 10, 2018, 10:18:27 pm

I'm really looking forward to watching this - and already would have had I realized it previously aired in the UK. Anyone else seen it or heard of it?

Reading PKD definitely impacted me when I was a teenager.

I know nothing about it, but saw it on a "list" of tv shows to watch

My first PKD novel was Divine Invasion and I read it maybe 5 years ago. Hated it, no impact.
Though I did name a chipmunk Belial because of this book, so I guess there's that?

I think I read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? first and then I was off to the races; devoured most everything by him after that. I don't even think I knew that it was the basis for Blade Runner then, though I'd seen the movie.
