I've read The Man in the High Castle and We Can Remember it For You Wholesale.
I like how his work always seems to deal with the uncertainty of reality and even the uncertainty of your own identity. I think Dick had his own mental issues and that came out in his writing.
Very much so. I loved his dedication to his friends at the end of A Scanner Darkly. I hate the Amazon prime Man in the High Castle. Started good but went into crazy directions
Exactly my thoughts (on the TV series).
Despite knowing that Hollywood will tend to fuck up anything remotely related to Nazis, I gave the series a try and was pleasantly surprised.
But then after the first season it all got too crazy too quickly. But it was worth it just for seeing Japanese imperial troops armed with type 64s and also because Alexa Davalos is just great eye candy.
Definitely. A Scanner Darkly and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep/Bladeunner are also about unreliable identity or memories. Paycheck is kind of like that too. Presumably others I haven't read as well. He was a man obsessed, but that obsession made for some really interesting books and stories.
