... because I get a sales commission, of course! Fiction The Wilson and Stephenson offerings are relatively new (this year). The Moon is a Harsh Mistress , of course, is a classic that anyone who doesn't own, should. Non-Fiction None of these are new, but all of them are essential. Others is a fantastic multi-volume history of third party politics in America. All the detail, and all the narrative zest,...

I am a huge, huge fan of the film Blade Runner, considering it one of my favourite movies and certainly my absolute favourite science fiction film, so I was delighted to stumble across this piece of Blade Runner ephemera at Letters of Note via Steve Lee. Blade Runner was based on the novel Do Androids Dream [...]

Film geeks still slaver over the early output of John Woo such as Hard Boiled and The Killer for their devotion to style and fantastic action sequences. However, the mid-90s and early aughts brought disappointment in the director for his less-than-stellar fare including Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle Hard Target , the shockingly bad Mission: Impossible II , and the forgettable Philip K. Dick adaptation...

Sometimes you can predict déjà vu. The moment that Life on Mars became a big hit, for example, it was a pretty solid bet that within a couple of gestational cycles we'd be looking at another time-anomaly cop show, and sure enough here comes Paradox . You can't always predict how déjà vu will operate, though. The odds against Paradox getting commissioned would have been...

In the sci-fi film Imposter (based on a book by BladeRunner author Philip K. Dick) the main character goes on the run after being accused of being an ‘imposter’ alien replicant. He escapes and in the final paragraph of the book finds his own flesh-and-blood dead body – at which point he exclaims: “If that’s [...]

Sacramento Book Review reviews THE WINDUP GIRL by Paolo Bacigalupi: – "Reminiscent of Philip K. Dick's Blade Runner. … Bacigalupi has created a fully imagined world in The Windup Girl that is densely packed with ideas about genetic manipulation, distribution of resources, the social order, and environmental degradation. However, he is never pedantic in addressing [...]

On our first night in Berlin, M and I spied a translation of Philip K. Dick in the window of a bookshop: Marsianischer Zeitsturz. We were consumed with laughter. Zeitsturz, time slip/fall/stumble…that’s exactly what it felt like to be here twenty years to the day after the wall had come down. We were time travelers [...]

A collection of short stories, none of which made a particular impression on me. Several just seemed implausible, not because of technological change but because of the society. Dick was probably trying to say something when writing a story about the abortion age limit being extended passed birth up to 10 years old, but it didn't work for me. Tags: Book, Review, Philip K. Dick

Today’s question was suggested by Barbara : Do you think any current author is of the same caliber as Dickens, Austen, Bronte, or any of the classic authors? If so, who, and why do you think so? If not, why not? What books from this era might be read 100 years from now? I am not sure what qualities Barbara thinks give Dickens, Austen, and Bronte their status but I would say that, through a combination...
