Philip K. Dick: Four novels of the 1960s by Philip K. Dick

5.0

---

I studied this year for a third year English course called Novel into Film. This was the first Dick book I've read and I really loved it. To think this book was written in the 1960s is revolutionary with the concept of thought boxes, mechanical animals, androids and colonisation of the planets, is exceptional. The book is very different to the film and both should be treated separately on their own merits. Overall, one of the best science fiction books I've read. I'll be tackling Dick's "The Man in the High Castle Next".
