Quote of the Day by Philip K. Dick

This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.

Philip K. Dick (G.co., n.d.)

Did you know that Bladerunner (1982), Man in the High Castle (2015) and The Adjustment Bureau (2011) are all Philip K Dick stories adapted to the screen? The latest book of his that I read was Ubik. A story that truly pokes at your cerebral hemispheres and challenges you to make sense of the reality in the story. I spent days after finishing the book thinking about it; trying to figure out the implications of the ending. Perhaps that is why it has yet to be adapted for the screen?! Inception (2010) is nowhere near as reality-challenging, as Ubik will be once it makes it to the screen. Join the conversation in the comments section below.
