      1. Speaking of Philip K. Dick, now that Man in High Castle is a series, worth thinking about other works deserving adaptation.

      2. Dick has been one of the authors most adapted to film & TV (Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, etc.) but more to be done

      3. A long TV series actually makes more sense than a movie because Dick's novels, even when short, have many characters & complex plot

      4. Based on my twitter stream, it looks like the novel people want to see adapted most is Ubik -- which is a great druggy book.

      5. But beyond Ubik, I think Martian Time-Slip would be great -- lots of interesting stuff there about autism & colonialism.

      6. Blade Runner is of course a classic film. But there's enough in original novel (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) for 12 hour TV show

          @HeerJeet The Divine Invasion could work if you didn't want to adapt the whole trilogy. Also Clans of the Alphane Moon.

          @HeerJeet @Green_Footballs That and A Scanner Darkly are probably his best two works.

          @HeerJeet @Green_Footballs With the return of blatant xenophobia and an incipient cold war, The Zap Gun sounds timely.

          @HeerJeet @Green_Footballs I think 3 Stigmata would be good for the extreme paranoia, which is appropriate to the times.
