Philip K. Dick

I read Flow, My Tears, the Policeman Said (S.F.Masterworks S.) a few nights ago, and it’s an extremely good book, but then I read a lot of Science Fiction and since reading a collection of his works, Dick has become one of my favourite authors.

I’m obsessed with Blade Runner, so reading some of Dick’s works was the natural progression, so far I have not been disappointed, always important when reading in my opinion.I highly doubt I’ll be disappointed by him, I haven’t yet… I quite like how most of his books are set in what to us is the past, most of the books I’ve read so far are either set in the’80s the’90s or the early ’00s, with ‘04 being as far as I’ve come…

Anyway, the book in question deals with the experiences of one man in what is ultimately a police state, and the people around him, with the main character going from being a well known superstar to “an ordinary”, it’s extremely well written and surprises you throughout, so well worth a read.

Tell me if you like it?

Heroes

I really got into Heroes over the last couple of weeks, in case you don’t know what Heroes is… It’s a science fiction drama type thing about individuals with special abilities and unlike your standard super hero show, they’re not people who developed powers after being somehow exposed to near fatal doses of radiation!

Instead they’re somehow the link between normal human beings and the next step in our evolution, for example one guy has the ability to bend spacetime and to transport himself anywhere he wants to on the planet or through time.

I’m not going to write a whole summary of the show if you want that imdb or wikipedia would be the better choice. Instead I implore you to watch it!

However I do dislike one thing about it, the fact that it’s currently running which is always bad, like with Atlantis a few weeks ago. I’m current with the show now which means I’ll have to wait for it to be released before I can get my hands on it which sucks.
