10. Philip K. Dick

Did you like the movie rendition of Do Androids Dream, etc - Blade Runner? I thought it was fantastic.

And for anime fans, Ergo Proxy was made with strong inspirations of Philip's novel.

[Apollyon]

Did you like the movie rendition of Do Androids Dream, etc - Blade Runner? I thought it was fantastic.

Everyone likes Blade Runner, surely? It's a very fine piece of scifi noir.

The film does miss out on many of the book's more interesting elements, though, such as the real/fake animal hierarchy. It does supply some of its own too, though.
