Description: "Philip K. Dick was one of the most incisive, subversive, and entertaining authors of the last half of the twentieth century. The increasing levels of respect and interest his fiction and films have generated since the 1982 release of Blade Runner have made a comprehensive assessment of these films a virtual necessity. Future Imperfect is the only work to examine the cinematic adaptations of Dick's work in their entirety and to include some of the more extended criticism on several seminal science fiction films."--Jacket.
