#Philip K Dick's Electric Dreams

[piratemousey]

Watched two episodes of Phillip K. Dick's Electric Dreams. "Impossible Planet" and "The Commuter". Both of these have fucked me up the way only good science fiction can.

Impossible Planet was a story of belonging, feeling valued, capitalism soulless corrupt trip across the stars. Love.

The Commuter was about love and being present.

Both of these obviously had multiple themes and meanings, but this is what touched me.

As someone with suicidal ideation and mental health problems, take care when watching these episodes. (People can say I virtue signal but whatever. I wish I'd had warning.)

The show tore me up. But it's one of the things I love about art. It made me rethink my perspective and gave me a bigger understanding of the human experience.

I haven't watdched all of Philip K Dicks Electric Dreams TV Show but I did enjoy Safe And Sound, The Hood Maker and Autofac. So far.

Safe And Sound is very close to reality, as it is right now, The Hood Maker was very emotionally engaging and Autofac went a way I wasn't prepared & very beautifully.

Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968)

[jstor]

Nine covers of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (AKA Blade Runner, of course).

Cornell University's Images from the Rare Book and Manuscript Collections on JSTOR features lots more related content, including prequels, video games, movie stills, the covers of Alan E. Nourse's original Blade Runner—which had nothing to do with Dick's novel!—and William S. Burroughs' Blade Runner: A Movie which is an adaptation of sorts of the Nourse novel.

Oh, and there are more than 11,000 additional images that have nothing at all to do with these movies or books! Dig in, the collection is free and open for everyone!

Philip K Dick’s Electric Dreams: Impossible Planet

“Do you think you could reach God, Mister Norton?”  “Maybe when I was a kid, I did. In fact, I used to dream I’d break into whole new universes.”

I can't get over the Electric Dreams episode Impossible Planet. It paralleled my own feelings about being alive right now and trying to find a job. Wanting to be content while being completely lost.

I love how stories can end you. You hear a good story, and now you have to rebuild.
