Still Dicking Around...

The weirdest thing for me, re-reading a lot of PKD as I am right now, is that many of his books take place in San Francisco, where I live. My apartment's in Dave Holden's neighborhood for heaven's sake. Strange sychronicities occur, let me tell you...
Just as long as I don't see a JohhnyCab or some ad on the side of a bus for the Home Voigt - Kampff Test things will be OK..... the world's pretty Dicke-ed up as it is already.
Now as to the sudden recent upsurge of Hollywood interest in "adapting" his works to the screen, it's really hit or miss...
For every "Blade Runner" or "A Scanner Darkly" we get an "Imposter"
or a "Total Recall"- from the short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale".
Now I hear they're going to try "Ubik".....
I fear the worst.....
But Remember -

You don't know Dick!

Or maybe you do... either way, you'll enjoy these 3 OTR SF episodes adapted from stories by Philip K Dick.



X Minus 1 - May 22nd 1956 "The Defenders",

I've been looking high and low for this issue of Galaxy for way too long.... and now it's ALL MINE! Bwah-hah-hah!
Sorry, that was most unbecoming of me. So here are the illustrations from the first printing of the story.





Plus these two -

X Minus 1 - October 10th 1956 "Colony",

Exploring Tomorrow - March 12th 1958 "Made In Avak"[aka "Fair Fight"]



More cool PKD audio stuff here and here, and if you think I would enjoy a blog called Infocult you'd probably be right.
And Remember - Wild new UBIK salad dressing, not Italian, not French, but an entirely NEW and different taste treat that's waking up the world! Wake up to UBIK and be wild! Safe when taken as directed.

The Defenders

Well i've been busy (and I still am) but I just HADDA share this. I've been looking high and low for this issue of Galaxy for too long.... and now it's ALL MINE!
Bwah-hah-hah!




X Minus 1 - "The Defenders" by Philip K. Dick

Kepp the faith cats and kittens... i'll be back with more stuff as soon as I can be!
