> Most of the above are his titles

Back to original list from the parent comment that is the "above" in my comment. X denotes PKD title, O denotes otherwise:

X Time Out of Joint

X The Man in the High Castle

O Martian Time-Slip

X The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch

X Clans of the Alphane Moon

X The Simulacra

X Now Wait for Last Year

O Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968)/Blade Runner (1982)

O Ubik

O We Can Build You

X Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said

X A Scanner Darkly

O The Transmigration of Timothy Archer

O Radio Free Albemuth

So..."most" of what exactly?



You're being needlessly pedantic.

But in the name of pedantry, you also have The Simulacra wrong. PKD's manuscript for The Simulacra was called "First Lady of Earth".


I'm just pointing out that my comment was about the list provided by the commenter above and "most" was about that list rather than all of PKD's work. What you refer to as "pedantic", I consider precision and talking about what's being discussed; someone asks "are these his titles", the answer was "yes. most of these are". Nothing more, nothing less.


I'm not talking about the earlier comment at all, but rather about the entirety of PKD's output.


Great. Good job doing your research, but your input and cross-link were not relevant to this thread focusing on that earlier comment.


"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."
