William Gibson is not boring. “The Differnce Engine” is one of my favorite books.
But PKD is indeed a bit overrated in hindsight. A lot of his writing was kooky and haphazard in a weird, babbling way. I read his stuff and I like the ideas, but I wish Bradbury or someone had been manning the old typewriter.
Still a PKD fan, but not as much as I once was.
Love Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 more than any of what he wrote.
Never saw much of the “Man in the High Castle” series, but I did watch enough to know that it was straying even further from the source material than Blade Runner was from “Androids.” Only in this case I like the book more.
Love the movie of Minority Report. Can’t temember the story very well at this point.
PKD is definitely inconsistent.
Proud of you for standing up for “Neuromancer.”
