@tedgioia.bsky.social Watched Scanner Darkly again; thx for the reminder via your post on the best PKDick works. Plus it fits 'today' so well ...

Does his 1975 "Confessions of a Crap Artist" make any of the lists? (I'm not a Substack subscriber; only saw the newsletter version.)

COSCO utilizza attrezzature nascoste a bordo delle sue navi per spiare le comunicazioni militari vicino alle coste delle nazioni bersaglio
compresi US

hanno detto due alti funzionari dell'amministrazione Trump

Ich kannte Corey schon davor, ich glaub', damals via fefe, der hat den hart gefeiert.

Was würdest Du noch empfehlen?
Stephenson, Suarez, Gibson und ziemlich viel PKDick hab ich durch.

An early scene in Nolan's 'Odysseus' induced me to read this in search of meaning and by golly, here is Elin's blueprint! Book's a bit slow & clunky to settle -published 1968- but once it kicks in ... #PKDick has thought deeply about us & androids. Top marks to Bladerunner though.

Reality definitely feels like a PKDick novel.

The film adaptation of MINORITY REPORT was even better than the novella, which is hard to admit as a PKDick-head. The original had big main-character energy, and the adaptation made the lead way more likable, and gave it a feminist twist the novella lacked. But yeah, convoluted is PKD's specialty 😉

Ultimately found myself disappointed by 'The Divine Invasion' in the #PKDick readthough and I think I'm finally coming to terms with his VALIS books just not being for me. Much happier with how things are going with capitalism dystopia 'Solar Lottery' (via a short 'Second Variety' break). #booksky
On the cover of PK Dick's 'Solar Lottery' a human figure is standing in a strange looking alien landscape.

Midway through a first-time read of 'The Divine Invasion' and I hadn't realised this was the second part of the VALIS trilogy. Partly wishing I'd re-read VALIS before coming to it, but let's face it... :) #PKDick #booksky
The cover of the PK Dick novel, 'The Divine Invasion.' An infant floats in space above Earth. The sun behind the infants head is creating a halo effect.

I quite enjoyed the relatively bleak, slightly sinister ending to 'Our Friends from Frolix 8' tonight. A bit of a contrast after the more hopeful 'Dr Bloodymoney.' Next up on the #PKDick catch-up is 'Galactic Pot-Healer'... #Booksky
The cover the the PK Dick novel Galactic Pot-Healer. A ruined city, putting us in mind of Atlantis, appears to be rising through the surface of the ocean. In front of it is an enormous one-eyed octopus-like creature looking directly at us. It's unclear whether the creature lives in the abandoned city or is attacking it.

The latest in my previously unread #PKDick catch-up is like a glorious mixture of The 5th Element, X-Men and the Paranoia RPG. #booksky
The cover of the PK Dick sci-fi novel 'Our Friends from Frolix 8' shows how the future society is divided. On the left there is a normal looking man in a suit (the very bottom of the heap). In the middle is a strange looking man in a futuristic garishly coloured outfit. This is an "Unusual"; a mutant man with strange gifts. On the right, and in charge of future Earth is a New Man; a super-intelligent human with a vastly enlarged head and brain.

Partway through 'We Can Build You' on the #PKDick catch-up and it's full of classic moments. This particular exchange hits hard right now. Offt. #booksky
A short excerpt from 'We Can Build You' by Philip K Dick in which a lead character gives some insight on her nihilistic view of the world. The text in full is below: "Yes. Also spiders." "Spiders in particular. Like the trap-door spider. I wonder how a spider feels when someone breaks its web to pieces." "It probably says 'drat," I said. "No," Pris said solemnly. "It gets furious, and then it abandons hope. First it's sore-it would sting you to death if it could get hold of you. And then this slow, awful blind despair creeps over it. It knows that even if it rebuilds, the same thing is going to happen again." "But spiders get right out there and rebuild." "They have to. It's inherited in them. That's why their lives are worse than ours; they can't give up and die-they have to go on.'

Early days with the next #PKDick on the unread list and it’s a bit like if David Lynch made Threads. #booksky
A shrivelled humanoid figure walks across a blasted landscape. The ground and the sky are a lurid red. Above the figure is the title of the book: 'Doctor Bloodmoney or how we got along after the bomb.'

Been making my way through some of the #PKDick novels I’d previously missed and it turns out the bleak slasher-come-existential-crisis of ‘A Maze of Death’ is exactly what I needed right now.
A humanoid figure walks through a bleak desert landscape on an alien planet. Above them, and we imagine spying on them, is what looks like an artificial dragonfly. Something is very wrong.

JK has beat PKDick for author killing my interest in their work, it's worlds and IP fastest by learning what a total bag of crap they are RL.

Hi Adrian
I haven't been able to find any explanation for your withdrawal from the BSFA Novel cat. Surprised me since you're still nominated for the Novella and Alien Clay is nominated for the 2025 Hugo and PKDick awards

Are you bored of winning so many BSFA awards? 😅

... for an in depth discussion with either an LLM or with a human (husband read it too). Very meta to talk to ChatGPT about using empathy as a weapon. It's a harsh joke in the way only PKDick can be....

I finally uploaded the chapter to my channel. My laptop hard disc is dying, so I nearly lost all my work.

I want to get to the next chapter sooner this time. The audio is already edited. Just need to add the illustration

Just stop! I can’t take anymore . The civil war never ended, the Nazis are here, maybe the Roman Empire never ended. (See PKDick)
