Career
While recognized as a genius of science fiction, only after his death was he appreciated by the mainstream literary world. Though universally acclaimed for dark, edgy novels like A_Scanner_Darkly and The Man in the High Castle, he has long been considered a cult author. Since his death in 1982, shortly before the film Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and the best-known adaptation of his work) was released, his fame has steadily increased.Notable Works
- The Man in the High Castle
- Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said
- The Transmigration of Timothy Archer
