Ridley Scott is a genius, Philip K. Dick was a paranoid psycopath, but he could write (an uncommon trait among crazies). Blade Runner, one of the top 10 of all time? I think so. |

bitch. |
Didnt say it was (atleast not purposely), but completing well structured sentance after well structured sentance into more than twenty novels (most about communism)... you gotta have some kind of head on your shoulders. I walk the fine line myself, I know this shit first hand. Step off! |
Funny, I always thought his novles were about ordinary people suddenly having to deal with realities that skewed away from normal, or similar plots. See "UBIK", "Radio Free Albemuth" "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (surely you know that one), and so on. |
I've read almost all of his books, and I dont recommend it. They all begint to form a pattern. As for the communist paranoia, those were his earlier (and perhaps more famous) works. As time goes on, his books get more and more spiritual. High recommendations: Divine Invasion, The Man in the High Castle (a good example of his extreme paranoia), Now Wait for Last Year (very trippy), and others you may pass at the bookstore. |
puhleeze. |
