ehn0@bunny.UUCP (Eric Nyberg) (05/03/85)
As a new usenik, I would like to convey my willingness to communicate
(publicly or privately) about the works of the late Philip K. Dick.
I am a rabid PKD enthusiast, a member of the PKD society, and a
collector of PKD novels. I have an almost complete collection of his
published novels, and many of his magazine appearances. I would be
willing to give reviews, previews, etc. if anyone is interested and
has never checked him out (Phil's largest media exposure was for the
movie "Bladerunner", adapted (*very* loosely) from his novel "Do
Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". He also won the Hugo award for
his novel "The Man in the High Castle".).
I would also like to correspond with anyone who is interested in the
branch of religion known as Gnosticism, particularly in regard to
literary symbolism and character systems. Dick's later works draw
heavily on Gnostic modes of thought.
If anyone can locate a copy of "Counter-Clock World" or "The World
Jones Made", for sale or trade, I would appreciate it (These two
will complete my collection).
