I like the schlocky/pulpy stuff too. Blade Runner is my wife's favorite movie, and despite the flying cars, I even the sequel was pretty good. Total Recall was a favorite as a kid/teen -and it still holds up.

Of course PKD did get very paranoid -but what I like about his later novels is the mystic gnosticism and contemplation you get in VALIS (with its mysterious satellite), The Divine Invasion & The Transmigration of Timothy Archer. Ideas about reincarnation and different states of reality, really spoke to me.

While I might not agree with his views about the world as a "black iron prison" per se, as someone who was exploring reality or realities, I really felt like PKD was also in line with others around his time -Robert Anton Wilson for instance.

In any case... sorry to get off topic. Just enjoying some slack on the job, before I get back to work.
