It's reward-me industry bullshit. PKD wrote books better than High Castle, it was just his turn to get credit. It's like, five years out of phase-and needs to stop.

Divine Invasions: A Life of Philip K. Dick: Sutin, Lawrence

>it's a protagonist gets trapped in a mysterious villain's nightmare world episode

>reads the Timaeus once

I was thinking of reading this guy. What are your thoughts on dick? Do you guys enjoy dick? Do you think I would enjoy dick? I heard that dick is very long and hard, is that true? What is the longest thickest and hardest dick that you’ve enjoyed? My friends said that there’s nothing like sitting down and putting your face next to a big ol’ dick, just really devouring it and consuming it heartily. I’m currently on winter break, and was wondering if I should start enjoying dick for the first time, what do you guys think? When was it that you first received dick? If I go to my library, and I talk to the librarian, do you think that I can receive dick from him? And in the bookstore near my house, do you think i would be able to get dick? My girlfriend told me that she loves dick and that she thinks I would like dick as well, what did she mean by this? Thanks guys, I know you guys are experts on dick, so I’d love it if you could give me some rundowns of your previous experiences with dick, your favorite memories, your difficult memories (maybe you were forced to receive dick against your will), etc.

What are /lit/'s thoughts on Phillip K Dick? I am a huge admirer of his work.

>Those Communists are the real menace, not the Germans. Take the treatment of the Jews. You know who makes a lot out of that? Jews in this country, a lot of them not citizens but refugees living on public welfare. I think the Nazis certainly have been a little extreme in some of the things they’ve done to the Jews, but basically there’s been the Jewish question for a long time, and something, although maybe not so vile as those concentration camps, had to be done about it. We have a similar problem here in the United States, both with Jews and with the niggers. Eventually we’re going to have to do something about both.
what did he mean by this

I've just finished reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Man in The High Castles and Ubik as well as some of his short story collections and Where should I go from here? Can you recommend any other sci fi authors that have a strong emphasis on false realities, social control, philosophy etc.?

His prose is lukewarm, he's clearly not that smart, his sole talent seems to be imaginativeness when it comes to possible future worlds. I'm not even against "genre-fiction" the way some of you are, but geeze I got memed into spending money on this guy's books

Where do i start with him?

>"I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional world spun out of my own mind, not the world we actually have, because the world we actually have does not meet my standards"

*tips*

holy fuck what an edgelord

Whhat is PKD's greatest work?
imo it's a scanner darkly

Philip K Dick thread.

I just finished Ubik. Any suggestions as to why Runciter's coins have Joe Chip's face on them? What would be recommended if I loved Ubik?

Also general subjects for discussion: Which are people's favourite Philip K Dick novels? Which is his most underrated? Any favourite short stories? Best movie adaptation?

>muh drugs

sci fi noob here. i just finished count zero and i'll probably go back to mona lisa overdrive at some point, but for right now, i want to move on to pkd. what's the best book for me to start with?
