With the Channel 4 series of dramas based on his short stories starting, Philip K Dick has cemented his reputation as one of the most adapted science fiction authors of the modern age. The most famous big-screen outing of recent years was Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, released in 1982, the year the author died. Electric Dreams, the 10-part Channel 4 series, features adaptations of PKD’s short stories, each with a different screenwriter. Charlie Brooker’s phenomenally successful series Black Mirror owes a big debt to PKD and his dystopian visions. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Electric Dreams.
