pretty much *anything* by PKD.

I agree with you there, Dave, but I made my
post in reference to Wedge's post regarding
his thoughts about solipsism. "The Electric
Ant" deals particularly with that idea, but once
he reads that, I'm sure he'll get hooked on
PKD's other stuff just like I have.

For me it was "Minority Report." After seeing
the movie I wanted to read the original story,
and found it in a collection of PKD's stories, of
which "The Electric Ant" was one.

Of course I've known for years that "Blade
Runner" was based on "Do Androids Dream
of Electric Sheep," but I'd never read it. I aim to
fix that oversight, just as soon as I've finished
the book I'm currently embroiled in.
