philip k dick

http://www.brainpickings.org/2014/02/07/r-crumb-weirdo-philip-k-dick/ I was actually able to put on my reading glasses, get up close to the desktop screen and read the entire text. Fascinating.

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...

4th May 2010 08:36 PM Elaine Frei It has been announced that Houghton Mifflin Harcourt will publish a two-volume edition of award-winning science fiction writer Philip K. Dick’s personal journals, which he called Exegesis. The journals were largely Dick’s attempt to make sense of a series...

13th August 2009 09:00 PM Elaine Frei Boom! Studios has produces what it calls a “graphic translation” of Phillip K. Dick’s 1968 novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The series will consist of about 24 issues, with the first issue released in July. The issues will also likely be...

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...

I warn you, the link below is to a site that is more than a little...unusual.., so click at your own risk, (the included entry is post 4 in the thread.) http://www.alienscientist.com/forum/showthread.php?2424-The-Black-Knight-Satellite-What-is-it-Where-did-it-come-from Besides the fact that...

Here's my 1st edition VALIS... it was only printed in PB in 1981.

Dr. Bloodmoney by Philip K. Dick (1965) This novel is somewhat unusual for the author. It's longer than most of his books, with more characters and a longer time scale. Unlike the distortions of reality seen in novels like Ubik or The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, the story is told in a...

I came across a PKD Primer that I thought was interesting because it mentions a mere two novels before diving into the stories and then stops. Don't know that I agree with it, but it's interesting. It might be better to start with a few stories, then a few novels, then all the stories, then...

Blog entry.

Does anyone here know where I might find some of Dick's poetry? I've looked through used/rare book resellers, and I can't find so much as a mention of any of his collections. Any help in finding any of these would be much appreciated: "The Above and Melting" (1966) "An Old Snare" (1966)...

This is not an in-depth discussion, but I thought some PKD readers might like it. http://blog.christianitytoday.com/podcasts/upload/android%20podcast.mp3

In case anyone is interested there is a programmme on Philip K Dick on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow afternoon in the Great Lives series. Don't know if it will be available as a podcast for those outside the UK.

Hello, I have read A Scanner Darkly, Ubik, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, and Do Androids Dream. I'm about a third of the way through The Man in the High Castle. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is by far my favorite so far, followed by Ubik. I love how he takes you to a...
