Well, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep just got knocked out of the SF Novel poll, wherein I discussed how the movie it inspired, Blade Runner, was actually a better quality work.  It seems that PK Dick might agree with me.  I just came across a link to this letter he wrote before the movie had yet come out:

It's sad he never got to see the complete work, he died a few months before it came out (and was a commercial and critical failure (the latter due to the studio), at least in the short term).

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

Wow, that certainly is some endorsement.
