'Horselover Fat's nervous breakdown began the day he got the phone call from Gloria asking if he had any Nembutals. He asked her why she wanted them and she said that she intended to kill herself."

East Berlin TimeFall

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 [...]

Paycheck, Philip K. Dick

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.

Here to stay...

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...

MIND MELD: The Most Memorable SF/F Book Covers

Fiction and fantasy book covers can be as awe-inspiring as the stories they are trying to sell. We asked this week's panelists: Q: Which are the most memorable book covers in science fiction and fantasy? (You can name up to 10.) Read on to see their favorites ...and not-so-favorites...

Why Won't Anyone Make a Richard Linklater Film?

If Richard Linklater did not exist, I would never have thought his fame would be possible. Here's a director who has found mainstream success in intellectual thought and aimlessness -- not something Hollywood usually takes kindly to. Slacker earned raves, cult status, and inspired Kevin Smith to create Clerks . Dazed and Confused followed, quickly becoming one of the quintessential high school flicks,...

The Strange (n.) – Being intrigued by something that doesn’t make sense!

I’ve had a most curious epiphany. Apparently if the description of the book is so far out there, so absurdly bizarre and unimaginably unintelligible in the light of logic, then I’m instantly fascinated by it and must have it in my collection. I don’t mean books with twisted or disturbing plots, but books with plots that simply don’t make sense, that are intentionally inconsistent...

Blade Runner in San Francisco

This Flickr gallery created by Britta Gustafson is a delight. She imagines Blade Runner set in San Francisco—the setting of Philip K. Dick’s original story “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.” In the reimagined movie, where does Deckard live? What would happen at Alcatraz? (Something would have to happen at Alcatraz.) “Such a pretty city! All [...]

Do Profanity Filters Dream of Philip K. Dick?

Searching for a book review recently, I visited a web page with a pirated copy of the book, alongside a reviewer’s name that seemed to have been automatically censored: Compare the censored name with its original form on the back of my paperback copy of the same book: Googling “Philip K. censored” brings up a rash of [...]

New ventures

I'm still digging out from WFC and had an eventful week. I did receive two rejections for stories this week. Ah well. It's all a process. I just have to kick them back out there. I've also rejoined a critique group and met with my new business partner in yet another endeavor. I'll be team teaching workshops on developing an online presence with Jennifer March of JMA Services . My review of The Owl...

“This is the terrain explored by Philip K. Dick in his classic short story “The Minority Report,” and in the Steven Spielberg movie based on it, in which an official government department of “Precrime” identifies, charges, and jails people on the basis of anticipated actions.” - December 2009: Mark Bowden on Sexual Predators | vanityfair.com

Books: Gateways To Geekery:Philip K. Dick

Pop culture can be as forbidding as it is inviting, particularly in areas that invite geeky obsession: The more devotion a genre or series or subculture inspires, the easier it is for the uninitiated to feel like they’re on the outside looking in. But geeks aren’t born; they’re made. And sometimes it only takes the right starting point to bring newbies into various intimidatingly...
