This is a 2007 documentary produced by Martín Florio on science fiction author Philip K. Dick. The great author behind the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the basis for the ultimately disappointing Blade Runner film, is portrayed by his many former wives and friends as having been obsessed with images that he perceived as having a divine origin. I detect a fair amount of condescension on display here from these former close relations, especially from fellow science fiction author K.W. Jeter. I think the general sort of hand-waving dismissal of Dick’s ideas and visions is foolish and indicates to me that Philip K. Dick made the relatively common mistake of surrounding himself with dimwits. Decide for yourself as you watch this interesting film.
