Philip K Dick

Philip K. Dick was an American speculative fiction novelist and short-story writer.

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.
