Since he died in 1982, Philip K. Dick has become, and has remained, one of the best-known science fiction writers of all time. He has recognition not only from established fans of SF, but also from more general audiences - very unusual for a writer who started out publishing in Ace Doubles in the 1950s. To a significant extent, that wide acceptance has to do with the film adaptations of Dick's work, which began with Blade Runner - released shortly after he died.
This episode focuses on the novel that inspired that film: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, published at the midpoint of PKD's career, in 1968. It is an iconic SF classic of the 1960s, packed with brilliant speculations and questionings of the author's favourite themes and a deep philsophical insight.
