Critics Review
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac
One of the most original practitioners writing any kind of fiction, Dick made most of the European avant-garde seem like navel-gazers in a cul-de-sac * Sunday Times *My literary hero * Fay Weldon *For everyone lost in the endlessly multiplicating realities of the modern world, remember: Philip K. Dick got there first * Terry Gilliam *A masterclass in sci-fi wonderment * Empire *In the ruins of World War Three, which decimated animal life and rendered the atmosphere radioactive, a bounty hunter is assigned to kill rogue androids. Dick’s novel - the basis for the seminal 1982 film Blade Runner - is set in 1992, so it is reassuring to see that not all dire predictions come to pass, although a world in which it is difficult to distinguish the real from the artificial is spot-on – Sophie Mackintosh * i Paper *
