December 16th, 1928, was the
birthday of Philip K. Dick, who died March 2, 1982. He penned a remarkable
number of sci-fi novels and novellas that have been adapted into movies,
including Blade Runner, Total Recall, Screamers, Impostor, Minority Report, Paycheck, A Scanner Darkly, Next, and The Adjustment Bureau.
Though he had a troubled personal life (with drug use and several failed
marriages), his captivating books certainly had a knack for envisioning
potential futures.
