PKD is a great sci-fi writer that you should check out. Hollywood has been dipping into his material for years. Movies like Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Paycheck, Sceamers, Imposter, and the upcoming A Scanner Darkly all come from his work. (Though only Blade Runner, Screamers, and Imposter come anywhere close to the coolness of his writing) He's able to write both serious sci-fi; but most of his stuff has an absurd sense of humor. He's good at those Twilight Zone twist endings too. A lot of times he'll broadside you with an ending that's logical but unexpected because he doesn't like going for those Hollywood happy endings.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
