Philip K. Dick was an American author known for his science fiction works, often with dystopian and drug-related themes. Some of his works have gone on to be adapted to films (and series) garnering much acclaim, such as the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner , which was an adaptation of Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? , released three months posthumously. The only adaptation released in his lifetime was a 1962 episode of the British TV series Out of This World , based on Dick's 1953 short story "Impostor".
Other works such as the films Total Recall , Minority Report and A Scanner Darkly have also gone on to critical or commercial success, while the television series The Man in the High Castle (2015) adapted to long-form television successfully. Following the success of Netflix's science fiction short story series Black Mirror , and its own success with The Man in the High Castle, in 2017 streaming service Amazon Prime Video paired up with Channel 4 to produce a series of short stories originally released between 1953 and 1955, under the series title Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams , the only adaptation bearing the author's own name.
