I haven’t read too much PKD but have been meaning to, do you mind dropping titles on what you mentioned at end of third paragraph?

Sure—in order of mention, that would be “A Scanner Darkly” and “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

The slyly comic tone of the latter may surprise those who’ve only seen its rather dour film adaptation (“Blade Runner”), which the original novel resembles only slightly.

Ah okay, thank you. I feel a bit lame as they are pretty recognizable titles. I never got into the blade runner movies outside of cultural knowledge of the plot and know nothing of "A Scanner Darkly". Going to add them to my reading list so thank you.
