Show Notes

Dick was an under-rated master of Science Fiction, in which he gravitated to writing dystopian stories. His cautionary tales, often featuring witty and gothic elements, explored the aftermath of authoritarian control and monopolistic corporations, and spooky cuckoo clocks, among many other things. Many readers have been exposed to these themes through some of the movies adapted from his novels; Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report. The Man in the High Castle is also based on one of his short stories. Enjoy!
