I started reading his books not too long ago and I really like him. It sucks how modern day sci-fi has succumbed to the woke monster but I’m really enjoying discovering authors from the past. I knew about movies based on his books but never took the time to read his work. I’m currently reading a scanner darkly and have read an anthology of short stories, minority report, flow my tears the policeman said, and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Heinlein is my favorite Sci fi writer but PKD is rising on my list.
Can anyone recommend any other books of his? Or like him?
Strange. Sometimes good strange sometimes so much strange that it's just confusing.
In general, his best works are the ones with a bit of grit to drag the whole thing down and provide something concrete for the characters to interact with. Otherwise I've noticed that his tendency to have multiple plots going on at the same time, and frequent episodes of surrealism makes it hard to keep track of things or figure out the point of the story.
Not that his weirder stuff is objectively bad, he's definitely a talented writer, but I don't get much out of it.
