With a reputation that is still rising as the world catches up with the prodigious outpouring of his imagination, and Hollywood repeatedly raiding his stories-- Blade Runner , Minority Report , A Scanner Darkly-- Philip K. Dick remains an intriguing literary and cultural figure.

Perhaps best-known for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? , he embodied the counterculture a decade before the 1960s.
