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?
I read Valis. Probably a waste of time as I can't remember any of it now, other than that two of the characters are actually both Phillip K Dick himself, and there was a space alien cult. That and most of it was really boring and didn't seem to have a point. I read the whole thing for some reason though. Can't remember why, I must have enjoyed it at least a little to do that. But I don't remember enjoying it at all.
The book is like a fever dream.
Do Androids was very good as the unfocused bits added to the atmosphere, and induced a confusion in the reader that I believe was intentional.
I'll have to read Ubik
