Author Philip K. Dick will undoubtedly be remembered for eternity for being the man who wrote what later became Blade Runner. Some of you might also know that he's the man behind other sci-fi classics like Total Recall, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, and many more. In other words, the man is a sci-fi GOAT, and a predictor of many technological aspects of life we live within today. So with all my respect, I do still think his works were made to be adapted, as every film version of his works I have seen, have always left a longer lasting impact on me. He created the worlds, but other artists filled them and breathed life into them.
Like Orwell, Huxley, Bradbury, Asimov, and other sci-fi greats, PKD was also quick to warn about the proliferation of technology and its far too easy implementation to life.
My ranking of the shorts included here best to worst:
- Minority Report
- We Can Remember It for You Wholesale (Total Recall 1990)
- Paycheck
- Second Variety (Screamers 1995)
- The Eyes Have It

On reread, I still stand by the film being better. Dick created the world—but as the cliche goes—Scott filled it and brought it to life.

It’s marketed and hyped by author blurbs to be creepy horror True Detective by way of Philip K. Dick. It is very much not.

I feel like this story will work much better with the awards nominated film adaptation. It just seems like its natural splendor would benefit greatly from the visual medium à la Terence Malick.

Damn, just like Jenny in Forrest Gump, she did not deserve that love and devotion.
