[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] Well, to be perfectly honest I haven't read Electric Sheep in quite a while, although I have read "A Man in a High Castle" about four months ago. As for the drug culture reference, when a friend of mine recommended High Castle to me, the story went something along the lines of, he was on drugs while writing many of his books, and he also consulted an I Ching device for that particular book, which seemed to ring true at the time since both books seemed particularly random and at times incoherent, while still enjoyable. Perhaps I may develop a different opinion soon, "A Scanner Darkly" is high on my reading list after my genetics and CS exams this week. As for Minority Report as compared to Blade Runner, I already noted that I find it difficult to evaluate the merits of Minority Report without having read the book. However, based on what I do know, I do agree with you. Minority Report may be a better PFD film, wheras Blade Runner was more enjoyable, and definitely more stylish taking into account how much older it is :) Here's the thing, what about the whole Deckard is or isn't a replicant deal. That could be considered a twist, but while its definitely in the sequels, I can't seem to recall if its in the actual book. (And the sequels were written by another author which further clouds the issue) Admittedly, it isn't a "getting hit by a truck" revelation, there are hints....the unicorn/origami and the five replicants deal. Mercerism on the other hand, is definitely something that I could live without. [/QB][/QUOTE]
