Philip K. Dick: From Book to Film – A Video Essay

By October 12, 2017Authors, Video

Philip K. Dick December 16, 1928 – March 2, 1982 was an American writer notable for his works of science fiction where his writing is dominated by authoritarian themes, alternate universes and altered states of consciousness, many of which have been adapted for film and television.

His work has spanned many decades, and you can often age people by what they know him for. In the early 80s when the movie adaptation was released, we all passed around copies of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, today The Man in the High Castle is big news thanks to Amazon.

In this video, made by Beyond The Frame for Fandor, we hear all about Philip K. Dick, the influence he has had on the future, and his legacy for the future. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
