This is a great starter book for Philip K. Dick readers. It touches on a lot of his common themes - a futuristic dystopian world, a controlling government, and it also introduces his facination with psychic abilities that would lead to novels like Minority Report.

This one is a hard read at first. I won't lie and say I completely understand it - this book is more of a window into Philip K. Dick's personal thoughts and inner turmoil....or is it? I'd recommend sinking your teeth into a few PKD stories before tackling this one.

This was the story that turned me into a Philip K Dick fanatic. The science fiction feels overly simplified at times, but the story helps to balance out that shortcoming. Imagine a mental hospital, and all the divinations and classes of patients therein. Okay? Now imagine that on a planetary scale. A great read.

For the Philip K Dick movie fan, this collector's edition is an absolute must. Owning any other version is like feeding a starving dog a rubber bone. This has 5 cuts of the film, commentaries, photos, a replica of the Unicorn from Gaff, a Spinner police vehicle, and the whole case is a replica of the Voight-Kampff machine. The only problem you'll have is deciding where to put it on your DVD shelf.

This was a serious departure from the original PKD story "Second Variety". The low production value and average actors led to this film vanishing quickly from the theaters.

One of the more successful story-to-movie adaptations, Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg showed us a future world where murder is a thing of the past. The strong advertising and charisma of Tom Cruise did the original story justice, albeit with a changed plot/ending.

This movie was delayed for a year because of the rotoscoping technique used to transfer all the film to a cell-shared cartoon look. This was time well spent. The movie wasn't as successful as Minority Report or Paycheck, but the casting was spot on with Woody Harrelson, Rory Cochrane, Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr. as burned out drug addicts.
