The Member Above Me....

Dawn: I also think Philip K. Dick is underrated as an author also, especially when you consider the movies that came from his books, like Blade Runner for "Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep", Total Recall from "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale", and Minority Report.

The one thing I wish he would have answered is if what was happening to Quail in his book was real or not. I always like to think it was. In any case that whole aspect is one of the biggest reasons I like Total Recall, while a lot of people don't look any further than the action with Arnold onscreen. There is some deeper stuff in it. I knotice at lot of that theme in his work.

Smitty: Is playing with power now, and just beat me to the post. See, I didn't forget about Blade Runner.

I totally agree.

But personnally, i enjoy the ambiguity he leaves as if its real or not - or, generally speaking, all the efforts he have put in his writings to question what is reality. The depth of his reflection on that subject never ceased to amaze me and makes me think: i love it. :)
